london calling again
Well I've decided to go to London again on Monday. I owe a few people a visit. Also, it's London, so it's basically just fabulous. I've booked a hotel (omg!) as a bit of a splurge. I'm not sure what to make of it. What am I going to do with a coffeemaker? I mean, I can make grilled cheese sandwiches…

We ended up climbing all the stairs of the abbey (and I nearly died by falling/lung explosion one or two times) to the roof for amazing views of the city. Then we headed over to Bath Spa which is far less touristy and far cooler than I expected. I managed to get an illicit photo of my foot in… |
Last Day in Blighty
Basically this trip has been amazing. I've climbed hundreds of stairs in an ancient staircase to the roof of a church, dipped my feet in an ancient Roman bath, took tea and saw the streets Jane Austen wrote about. Today we braved rain and cold winds to take a ride through the Cotswalds. We saw all t…
Soton to Bath Adventures
So me and my friend from Oz, Ziggles McGinty, made our way from our adorable little Ikea hotel to the train station where, while I was waiting for the girl to heat up my cornish pasty, we ended up missing our train. It stopped for maybe 10 seconds, opened the door, closed the door and buggered off. …
sou'ampton to bath
My friend Ziggy and I had made plans to take a trip to Bath but ended up missing the train due to my incurable Cornish pasty addiction. It hurts more than just you, kids! While my butter-and-meat grease-filled fix was being heated up, the train scooted right out of the station. We finally tucked o…
Five minutes in the hotel internet in Southampton
Write fast! Is it possible that I already miss London? I had a minor mishap getting on the wrong train to Southampton. Apparently the one that leaves at 1:35 is totally different that the one that leaves at 1:39. Okay. A nice stern old Englishman helped me figure it out, though and I made my way qui…

Football, pubs, and Buckingham Palace
Woke up rather late this morning and ended up missing Australia v New Zealand in rugby. I decided to grab some breakfast and watch the football match on tv in the local pub. It was amazingly fun, especially when Liverpool beat Chelsea 1-0. Then a friend and I decided to go shopping a little while. I…

London
As I was on the train coming from Heathrow and I was looking out the window at the rainy, foggy dawn morning and it occured to me that it looked quite a bit like home. It has a very comforting quality about it, where you know that inside those little lighted windows there is someone snuggled warm an…
