Gresham Hotel London

Holly "what shall we write?" "Shall be write in the third person the whole time?"

Sam "......." "No"


So here we are in a tinterweb cafe in London preparing for our off, photocopying stuff. The air smells of incense mixed with computer exhaust, Holly ***************** and we're on computer number 8. All in all a good time. We ...

... was also the 30 or so lads who all wore Bio-Hazard suits and masks.

After a lot of dancing and a late night, a trip down to Bogna town was call for on the Saturday to buy flat shoes for the next night......we're so old now!!!

Saturday night was a dressing up night for us - we went ...

... it wasn't for cars on the road, you could believe that you had traveled back in time about 200 or more years.

The Salisbury Cathedral was just jaw dropping magnificent. It has the tallest spire in all of Europe and you can see it driving into town. Salisbury itself is about as charming as you can get but unfortunately we didn't get time to visit the town, We had lunch at one of the local pubs and then headed out again.

... they took of us and I'll send the ones we took of them. Hopefully she doesn't forget...

Then we made our way to the Bank tube station to meet up with Oz. It was already past 21:00 by the time we got out there and it took Oz a few minutes to get there. We walked across London Bridge to the South side of the Thames to try to find a restaurant for dessert and drinks. We ended up at a place called Strada that ...

... make up, shoes and bag!! "Bring everything you need with you, don't buy anything out there" - FALSE in my opinion. I would recommend checking with contacts out there exactly what you are able to purchase and what you are not - do not rely on hearsay. For example, check what type of accommodation you will be staying in, for the guest houses I have been in so far towels/soap and sometimes even slippers and flip flops have been ...

... in the lobby. We don't want to. We argue with said concierge. Phone calls are made. Words said. We end up leaving our stuff in the lobby. Once again feeling like idiots, we walked to Hoxton square because someone- I don't remember who- told us to. We found it and rushed to find my mother food. Ah, I forgot to say this. My mother is hypoglycemic, so when she gets hungry (which is like every 2 hours) she turns into a monster and her eyes glaze over and she ...

... a row. Same as the night before in Kensington Gardens, in Hyde Park too today I noticed unusually many people, this time particularly women, dressed in traditional Muslim way, often all in black, covered from head to toe. Amidst all possible terrorist threats and occasional attacks in the world, I couldn't help wondering how two communities regarded each other right now. Journalists write what they write and sometimes consciously, but also sometimes unsconsciously promote their own ...

... to the laundromat while I bought a bus ticket and fought with the shopping crush all the way back into town to exchange it. At least this one worked. Ashley had an all you can eat pizza meal, while Mandy and I walked to the Royal Albert Hall to see Cirque du Soleil -- Verekai, which was my very belated birthday present. Sat at the side of the stage to the first half, then in a box of the second half as we could only get to single tickets. Great night -- good show.

... and just chilled on a bench and read. The park really is lovely, with tons of joggers (there are very many of these in London) and just people chilling, relaxing in the middle of the city. We spent a couple of hours enjoying the warm day (we were in part of a scattered sunshine at the time), and headed back to the hostel. On this day we splurged and bought a burger/chip combo for almost 3 BPS, but the hostel price had gone up to 13 BPS because it was ...

... Still havent seen Austin Powers, ill keep lookin! Anyways send me your mail address, we bought some postcards and dont plan on taking them home with us ;) I'll try to post again after the Stonehenge trip! p.s. sorry no pics cuz this computer is locked up and I can't get to the USB port but maybe the paris hostel will have one. over and out, shane
