Well, we'd booked a 4 bedroom hostel/hotel for us for the last 2 nights, which is where we rocked up to late last night. Well funny thing was the Picadilly line was broke down (again for us, as when we first arrived, it was a week after the London Underground Bombings). Today, we arose to find Dan and Matty very eager to get out and see some of London as they hadn't seen it yet. So I guess today was my turn to be a tour guide :-P So out of bed bright and early with our daypacks on and we hit the nearest underground and took them to Monument station (dejavu ya might think)

. So they were pretty excited and blown away by the egnormity of it all. Put a smile on my face too, I like London. We took them walking around the city to see the London Eye, Big Ben and Westminster abbey, through St James park to feed the squirrels haha! Love the squirrel's! Buckingham palace, Trafalgar sq, etc! I wont go into it, as its pretty similar to one of my first entries! But everyone was having such a great time, and its been fantastic travelling with these two for a couple of weeks! Well, the Dan's had purchased tickets to see the Lion King Performance, so we walked there to drop em off before Matty and myself wondered off to walk the streets of London. We found ourselves (can you guess??? ...yep ya got it) at Picadilly circus! haha, Been here so many times, but was good too see Matty gazing up at all the lights and the amount of people here! We kept walking and managed to find this lamborghini Diablo that'd been cruising the streets making alot of noise (very sexy car)... Typically on Bond st as well, haha! Well we thought we'd go mingle with the locals, so found a local pub and entered to have a couple of pints! However the local ended up being a bit of a sociopath and was very sketchy! haha, quite amusing actually. Well after a couple of hours we took a slow walk back to the Theatre to meet the girls. We walked BACK to Picadilly circus to show Danielle, and so they could see it at night

! Chilled on the steps of the Ero's Statues for a while, had a bite to eat, took a few happy snaps and decided that seeming though its mine and dan's last night in Europe, we'll head back to the hostel for last drinks, haha! (I know i've had way to much alcohol the last week), but its the last time i'm ever gonna see one of my best mates in I dont know how long). I'll miss them both! And i'm gonna miss this life! So we stopped off first at this little square where there were quite a few street performers! One guy was painting literally anything with spray cans and with all these neat tricks of burning different sections of the paint on the paper, and starching others, and moving the wet paint with some tools!!! (check out the picture i bought off him!), luckily because it was his very last one before it started raining, and tomorrow he was buming his way to Thailand to see his sick mother. Well after, we hit the bottleshop, picked up a couple of bottles, champagne & a bottle of scotch. Our last night here... Getting very sad!!
