Travelodge Harlow

I ventured out earlier, this time in the opposite direction from the day before, heading towards Finchley Rd. high street, a shopping area busy with women pushing babies in prams, elderly people shuffling along carrying shopping bags, and students shoving to get on board the overfull buses. I like to explore s...

We arrived in London between 8 AM and 9 AM, and picked up the rental car, a Fiat 500. Nice and small.

And off we go! Julianne drove and I navigated. With a map, a GPS, and two guidebooks, you'd think we'd be able to find anything.

First stop Tintern Abbey. First order of business - A Cadw (Welsh historical society) explorer pas...

So I'm finally here! Crazy, eh? The last couple of days have been exhausting to say the lest. I've managed to cover a fair bit of ground, sign up with various agencies, open accounts, actively seek accommodation etc etc.  I'm now pretty happy to have parted with £55 and got a 3rd party company called 1st Contact to help push me in the right dire...

So we arrived at a little after 8 am, and after walking about three miles down one corridor and then another and then another---oh, and another! -we came to the immigration hall. A sign with an arrow pointed to another hallway, but in fact it was misleading. So we all proceeded into the hall where we were divided into European passport holders a...

Today, I met up with Chelsea again. They went to Harrod's and I decided to join them because I didn't see the food section when I was there last. And I'll say, it was awesome. There is so much food, and all of it delicious looking. Sadly, all of it very expensive. I even saw a 60 dollar lollipop. Granted, it was a giant lollipop, but still! All ...

Heisa :) Dette må vist blive ca. sidste beretning i denne omgang... sidder i Heathrow Airport selvom det i virkeligheden var nu jeg burde befinde mig i DK! Men nej der var ændringer som jeg ikke var blevet oplyst om hvilket lige gør hjemrejsen en del længere... ØV!! Så er først hjemme i Viborg igen i morgen tidlig! Skal flyve herfra i aften kl. ...

Today is the first day i feel like i can actually breathe again!!! Things have been so hectic and stressed please excuse my lack of writing! I am back into the london life again and settling in well. Last night we moved into our new flat in Bethnal Green (the ghetto....east london). Its actually a really nice place. Small, but wooden floors thre...

So I arrive in London today, after resting for 5 days at my friend's place in Brussels, Belgium. His place is spacious, clean, and has a good view of Brussels' Botanic Garden. It also has high speed internet connection :) There is a nice and relative cheap cafeteria in a shopping mall nearby (€1 for breakfast special with two coffee and a c...

We landed at Heathrow at 7:30ish in the morning. Once we had gone through immigration and collected our bags we jumped on the next train to Harlow (our destination town). We're staying at the Youth Hostel until we move into our place that we're renting on the 29th April. The Hostel is not to bad but we can't wait to have a place of our own all t...

I can't even rememb** writing the travel story below. It must have been during work because it is really long! I only made it back to London once aft** this trip, and that was for only a day. I think it reminded me of Dublin too much, but I really should have made an effort. It is an amazing city. Mayfair and Park Lane done dirt cheap Of course ...
