We travelled back to London on Thursday and were lucky to get out as they were clsoing airports all over because it was snowing everywhere. Tim and Mel (the people we were staying with) were going to be out for the night so Sarah and I grabbed a hostel in the centre of London hoping to hit the streets that night to check out the nightlife. We got a fair way out of the door before we realised that being numb from head to toe probably wasn't the best mood to be in to party down.
The hostel itself was expensive and pretty shit. The room was the size of our linen cupboard back home.
That friday we went and checked out the National Gallery which was all pretty awesome. They had alot of paintings from da vinci, michelangelo, rembrandt, picasso and van gogh. We lost time there and realised that we had been wandering around for a good four hours. My favourtie artist on exhibition was probably Monet. His paintings looked like squiggles up close but when you stood a good 6m away you could see an amazing amount of detail. I literally have no idea how he painted them. He must have used a 6m painting brush or something.
Today we went to the biggest mall in Europe which was quite true to its title. It was insanly large. The carpark alone was about twice that of Bayfair. There was a pretty sweet lego store and I was tempted to purchase a pretty large lego batmobile but my consience steered me away from it.
Just got back from another pub (the amount of pubs and beers I have had over here in the few short days is pretty crazy). They had a beer which was infused or something so that it had a raw cherry or strawberry flavour and didnt taste too bad. The bad thing was that it cost about $15.
Going to Canterbury tomorrow to check it out whilst Tim and Mel play some touch and then back off into central london on Monday before Paris on Tuesday
