Arrived in the UK after an epic 25 hour journey. The trip was vapid at best and fairly uneventful. Highlights include: the chick in my row vomiting everywhere and the bald guy in the seat in front of me having two large boils on his head (couldn’t stop staring at them)… nasty.
I pretty much went straight from the airport to my relos in Wales where I stayed for 2 nights and caught up on some much needed sleep. Checked out nearby Cardiff (looks like a fun place to go to uni Matty!) and generally just took it easy. On Wednesday I caught the bus back to London where I met up with my mate Phil who I am travelling around Europe with. Spent the last couple of days with Phil and Desmond doing all the touristy things in London. Desmond sure did attract alot of attention! There’s a massive Police presence in London since the bombings. Can’t help feeling uncomfortable when an Arab looking guy with a backpack sits next to you on the tube.
It’s great being on the road again, loving it …. met heaps of awesome people at the hostel, not to mention more than enough annoying yanks. There’s a pub in the hostel I’m staying at, it’s crazy, £1 pints ensures a good night.
Off to France tomorrow morning to pick up our hire car, then the adventures will begin! Bring it on!
