What a relief

Well.

London is a breath of fresh air (in a vacational sense). I've only be here one day and already I am digging the place. The flight from LA was fine and we slpet for 18hours straight as soon as we got back.

However I cannot believe the price of things. I am buying bottles of water nand paying £1.50 mfor them and it is only until you do some converting that you figure that it is a $4.50 bottle of water. Train rides are expensive as well with an all day pass costing you about $30 to even $50.

The place where we are staying is in a really nice little town called Tunbridge Wells and we are staying with a friend of Sarahs. Great people and we are about to hit some ye olde english pubs in a bit. For a year pass on the trains (which they have - you dont use cars in London) it cost him $7500. I am so glad that I can just walk to work in NZ.

We are to go into the centre of London tomorrow and check out the houses of parliament etc. I am also going to check out the channel 4 headquarters and london eye etc as they are quite the fancy design.

I hear Jacob Oram is the master blaster now. Watched the game against England which was some extreme hitting so I am pissed that I missed his century against Oz.
