London Calling

Cheers Mates!

So i'm finally in England, more specifically in London. I'm using the hostel computer so i don't have much time to update but i thought a little blurb is better than nothing!

The flight over was pretty good, unfortunately i didn't sleep as i predicted so I got to London with very heavy eye lids. Virgin has awesome plans though, there were over 50 movies and tv shows to choose from, tons of cd's and games to play as well. Also they served complimentary wine with dinner! Naturally i took up the opportunity and it was actually pretty darn good wine.

First thing I did when I got to London, after getting to my hostel, was getting my new mobile. I had a pub lunch and then took a pleasant walk through Kensington Gardens. The colors are gorgeous and they're not even to the peak yet! Most of the trees are in that halfway phase with a sprinkling of bright red and gold touching the edges. I can't wait to get out into the Country once i'm in York and really see some colors!

I slept quite well and now I'm feeling revived. I'm going to walk to Victoria Station where i need to get a young persons railpass and then see if i can get a cheap return to Brighton and visit the old stomping grounds. Mostly i just want to go eat donuts on the pier but i might have to forgo that in consideration of my health ;) I also want to try to see the Duchess (you know the brilliant film with Keira Knightley and Ralph Fiennes?) today or tomorrow because i've been waiting so long for it to come out!

I'll update soon, probably in Edinburgh during orientation. I love hearing from you guys, hope everything is well wherever in the world you are!

Cheers
