We were greeted at the door by the actual, physical Rosetta Stone, and went on to see some really fantastic stone carvings and engravings. As always, click on the pictures to see the stories!

It was bound to come sooner or later. During my ride I was cold and I was wet. And most of the time I really didn't even know where I was or where I was going. I ...

Today was a difficult day, not only is one recovering from a very boozy weekend spent up north but a very long drive back to London. The post alcoholic depression is kicking in and I am left craving for more northern banter and cheap booze. Having managed to slog through a pretty normal day and stay awake, I embark on the evenings social activity of a theatre trip with 2 birds and a gay ...

I ended up coming back to my room and reading a little bit of the horror romance novel and started falling asleep. So, I ended up crashing around 10:30 pm for bed. But, it felt good!

... in Liverpool Station (in the dark with my bag) I tried to the Generator Hostel. I needed to reach the area of King Cross station, but it was such an amazing mild night. Another thing that did great, is that the London air seem to have unblocked my nose and helped with my cold. I wasn't feeling too bad anymore.
