I am sitting at a Cyber Cafe 2 minutes from the hotel in London where we have just checked in. I am writing this on the fly, so please excuse the HTML errors! Walt has settled himself across the street at the pub to wait while I get my "fix." We have had a lovely week. Our first two days were in London, where I occasionally thought I'd die until...

Today was a beautiful, warm and sunny day in London! Our first stop today was the Baps Shri Swaminarayan Mandir. The Hindu Temple was built in the 1990's and was absolutely incredible. All of the detailed marbling and wood carving was done by hand and the temple was constructed by a volunteer workforce over a 3 year time period. Upon entering we...

London Heathrow London Heathrow, the third busiest airport in the world, the airport with more flights to more linternational ocations than any other, and alas the airport with the most expensive coffee on the planet and some of the rudest staff. Close to 3.5 gbp for a Starbucks vente coffee and when I gasped, the gal replies...

My flatmate dropped me off and his last words were - if you get the chance of a 30 year old bird or an 18 year old bird then go young!   :o)

London, England and another rainy and cold day - I just love it Since we first started contemplating this adventure there has been a number of things that we just haven't been sure of. Like, for example, Who's going to want to do such a thing; who's going to sort out the logistics, and just how the hell to we get people interested and on board?...

Within the last week, a major terrorist plot was supposedly uncovered in which a bunch of bad guys were planning to blow up a series of trans-Atlantic planes using Macgyver-style bombs. With British police having made this discovery just in the nick of time, airports on both sides of the Atlantic have imposed new rules forbidding any type of liq...

    This is where we landed. This was my second time in Europe, but first in London. I was amazed at how many people could be crammed into the smallest streets! Not to mention the extremely nice cars/girls that seemed to pass every couple minutes. Our hotel looked small and old from the outside, but the inside was probably one of ...

After our red-eye arrived in London at about 6 am, we grabbed our mass of crap for the next three months, hauled it to the tube, and set out for downtown. We dropped our stuff off at our hostel (St. Christopher's), and set out to see the sights. However, not of course before grabbing a much needed cup of coffee. First thought walking down the st...

I made it to London! I had a really long flight, and only managed to sleep about one hour on the plane. It was really neat to fly over Hudson Bay, as there were ice bergs all over it. It really got me wanting to plan my trip to Antarctica! When I got to London I had to reclaim my bags, go thourgh customs where I got my first passport stamp, and ...

I found the fog to be particularly thick today. "Thick as pea soup" is the expression. Around twenty after four, Dave and I found ourselves in Design Museum, discussing the postmodern techniques in art application. This evening we did more record shopping at Picadilly's Circus. Yesterday we went shopping for music. Dave and I did a bit of a pub ...
