Porchester London

... as was the Churchill Museum which documents his life. Most interesting, it has an interactive display, the world's largest, that covers the events of his life.

Next was the Jewel House (only 3gbp - 2 for 1 coupon). It's a small building that was built in 1365 to house King Edward III's treasures. Other than being very old, there isn't much to see. It has a small exhibit explaining the evolution of British government thru the ...

... and her work-mates there as the people who lived in this place (who were Joss’s work friend Carla’s boyfriend’s friends) had all gone to the local Australian pub. The girls wanted to leave before they got back because these guys and girls were apparently as bogan as bogan’s come. We waited too long and a few of the bogan’s returned.
It was just like being down at Wynnum again. There was an Australian guy doubling a Kiwi girl on a BMX and the ...

... other than educational and learning activities with the Ministry we are with. Supposedly our leaders have said that the UK has become a lot more strict in the past few months with who they are allowing in. Go figure!

Anyway, it has taken us a good two to three hours to get here from the airport. We had a blast finding our way through London! We had to ride three different trains ...

... general area, eventually making our way to Leicester Square via the theatre district, which is just as nice as Covent Gardens, but a bit more modern. The cinema in the square was hosting the world premiere of "Night at the Museum 2" (one was more than enough Ben Stiller!!) So there were plenty of people lined up trying to glimpse some "stars". A bit more wandering as we stumbled upon this tiny little hideaway court called Neal's Yard. It's super ...

... it's in your face. And living here you really have to just give up the idea of having personal space. People are always bumping into you. It's not because they are rude; there's just not enough space for everyone.

One of the reasons for all the bumping into you, I think, is mass confusion about right-of-way. As you know, they drive on the wrong side, the left. They also walk on the left. This is a huge ...

... stacked against the fence waiting for the changing of the guard. My stroll ultimately ended at the plaza in front of the National Gallery. I proceeded to spend another day absorbing art. First, at the National Gallery seeing work by Da Vinci, Picasso, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, and Monet. Then venturing back to the Tate Modern for the Dali & Film exhibit. Film is an inherently surreal media and Dali was a connoisseur. His collaborations with Disney and Hitchcock were ...

... Until 17 June...1 days only {As per the confirmed ticket you have in your hand, I think to myself!!}) - And what do you plan to do in this time? (Ummmm...visit friends and see the sights again {Didn't I just answer this question??!!}) - And where are you going after? (To Ireland) - What will you do in Ireland? (I will be working - I have the Working Visa {As per the passport you have in your hand, I think to myself!!}) - When were you in ...

I found an English keyboard here at the hostel! Wooo! I can type properly now! Anyway, two things I forgot to add to my London entry.... Was walking past Downing St as I thought it would be fun to see number 10, however I just found that you can't walk down the street at all- it's blocked off and has a fence with armed guards etc. So I walked past it and then turned around and walked back and took some photos ...

... i found london to be very relaxing i supose it was because i had been there before and i was not so concern about seing all of them major tourist attractions. i was glad though to go to greenich this time and see and step over the time line but there were heaps of people. the view was magnificant and claire and i took a good while there just relaxing on the hill having an icecream and looking at the sceenary. claire also had ...

... airport! Because I had to go through customs, the idea of making a quick dash to Disneyland did cross my mind, but after waiting for my boarding pass for about an hour and a half, I decided I was in no state for the happiest place on earth! Plus, I was not looking so hot. So attempting to sleep at the airport was the plan! It took me a good few hours, but I eventually managed to get myself warm and remotely comfortable, bent over the armrest on two airport seats. I was ...
