Nest Hotel London

... from building the refinery. I learnt more in those 5 years than I did in the other 30 years of my working life but it came at a great cost to our family life which is something I now regret. Atho'ls health is not the best and unfortunately he was admitted to hospital just before we left for London so we had to cancel. We hope to catch up on our return.

We did catch up with John and Heather Eathorne's daughter Kristy and her ...

... that much. After experiencing Edinburgh and York, it paled a bit in comparison.

Back to the campground to fin out it had been overtaken by a BBC film crew. For the next few days they’re working on Season 2 of The Survivors. I guess it’s about a group of people who survived through a world pandemic and now have to make their way. I guess they’ll be braving the wilds of the Cotswolds tomorrow…

Hi Everyone,

Today Luc and I took an hour long boat ride along the Tames river to go to Greenwich! The boat ride was fantastic - a really nice and different perspective of the city! We saw Big Ben, The house of Parliament, Shakespear's globe theater (the second one, first one was burnt down), St. Paul's Cathedral, and many many warehouses turned apartment buildings, some worth over 7 million GPB (so approx. $14 million CAD). There was ...

... to terminal 2 to find there is no train at terminal 2 only at terminal 1! About half of the way we walked! So we got tickets. I put 20Pounds onto the Oyster Card and got on the very noisy and overly announced tube train. Talked to my couple friends and finally made it to Russell Square. When we got there, the lift was totally packed and there was another maybe 50 people waiting to get in! So we decided to go up the stairs with all our luggage ...

... road, and Piccadilly circus. Our favorite, though, was that we got a private box to see the lion king live! It was incredible- full of beautiful costumes and singing! Tomorrow we are leaving the g20 protestors behind and going to Cambridge! For those of you counting, we've rain through three train stations and got lost about a million times! But hey, we've only taken 1 200 dollar taxi ride! And, we are so good at the tube we can jump ...

... good to see him again. The flat has a similar feeling to their one at Arch Hill, so it didn't really feel that far from home. It's actually really nice. We're both feeling quite jaded at the moment and are even starting to feel quite dizzy. I reckon it feels like I've been on a rollercoaster a few times and I still feel like I'm going up and down even though I'm just sitting on a couch. We've been to Sainsbury's to ...

... the long trek over to the Tower of London. After buying my ticket I went down to the tour departing area and latched onto a tour (in the end I realised I had latched onto a private bus/coach tour ... oops!). We passed the river Thames and had great views over to London Bridge, past the traitors gate and into the Tower. As you make your way in you get to see the famous Tower ravens -- they don't actually fly ...

... of London. So I hopped on the tube... and discovered that both the Circle and District lines are out of service today. (Which leads one to wonder, Why is everything in London closed?!) I was in the city center at this point, and there was no other option but to take the bus. Getting to the tower this way did not prove to be difficult. The Tower of London is this huge medieval fortress that actually consists of quite a lot of ...

... find the café where she wrote the first couple of books, but to no avail - it's a reason to go back. Also saw Ross Noble, who despite being from Northern England himself, seemingly had a standing rapport with his Edinburgh audience. That was nice, but I did get a feeling that I was just not getting some of the jokes. Again Glasgow I found to be perfectly welcoming, however just did not have the grandeur and magnificence of Edinburgh (apologies to my Clanless ...

... Exam. Somehow, knowing that my time here is ticking away, being efficient with my studying is not as hard as I thought it would be. If I get my studying done, I get to go out and enjoy my city. With that kind of motivation, who wouldn't be able to focus!? The rain this morning made the situation even easier. Thank you London for working with me here! By 3, I'd knocked off 5 lectures and, as if it had anticipated my wrapping up my ...
