... their tickets, and by the time it was resolved we'd spent close to an hour in the queue. Luckily we had plenty of time - although by the time we'd found somewhere for brekkie, it was nearly 10.00. Terminal 3 is definitely NOT Terminal 5 - past security it is rather cramped and clautrophobic. The only passable breakfast option was Chez Gerard, where Liz and I had a decent enough coffee and meusli, whilst the girls and Chris chose more filling options!

... drove past Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and The London Eye on the way home, but I'll go and see them next time I'm in London. Last night we went out to The Bee Hive for a few Ales and then came back to Shaz' House for some more festivities. Whoever thought drinking games with Bundy and Sambuca shots was a good idea, should be locked up:) I'm paying for it today. We're going to see the new Fast & The Furious today, which should be good. I'm off now, hope everyone had a great Easter.

... We have managed to book a flight to Brussels but not until this evening. We are due to arrive late-ish, at 10.25pm. We had accommodation booked in Bruges but we won't be able to make it as there is no train at this time to get there.

... chaotic, but when you think about its diversity, it's events, concerts, sights, museums, restaurants, shopping, that cosmopolitain feeling, and you can't deny it it's dues. One of the greatest cities in the world. Anything you want you can find! Tomorrow, I will again be trying to avoid the shopping areas (I am only saving that until Edinburgh so I don't have to haul stuff around for an extra week and a half....plus I already caved a bit in Covent Garden ...

... Eye in the gift shop, buying postcards, posters and a calendar. We continued determined to find Buckingham palace and whilst it is a very beautiful building we were definitely more intrigued by the guards stomping and stamping out the front. We then headed to Oxford St to squeeze in a bit of shopping, however once we hit H&M we didn't' get out and it was the only shop we had time for. We then headed to ...

... of darwing your attention to the ground as oppose to ths cars which are barreling down on you. It's a wonder more dont get runover. I nearly while crossing the road at Notting Hill gate near hide park. The cabbie seemed to come out of nowhere. when I realized he was about to get me I just ran. Somehow that street crossing put my back out so I limped back to the hostel and sat down to update my blog. my next move will be to get to the pharmacy.

... pictures of the outside. The front of the Abbey is quite tall and very recognizable. This of course was the Abbey that Prince Charles and Princess Diana were married (when she was only 19). This is the second time I've been to see Westminster Abbey and both times it's been closed (it closed at 1:30pm). Hopefully I'll get another chance. We walked past Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament and over the River Thames ...
