Kia Ora!

Alright, so its been a wicked couple of days. I'll try very very hard to update you as best I can. Luckily, this time i have the very speedy hands (and sexy) of Nick McKellow. (he's so cool) to guide me.

After the British museum, we made our way by foot through London's magical west end district to the "kick-ass" Leicester Square. Surrounded by movie/normal theatres, Leicester Square is pretty much Dunedin's Octagon, but actually good. (like Nick McKellow good). Then, we head off to Trafalgar Square. The main monument, (Nelson's column) is extremely tall, and rather ominous colomn, topped w/ a statue of Nelson himself and guarded by fericous bronze Lions. (see photo)

After meeting up with DJ Wyatt's mad aunty and co, we were told that Covent gardens were the place to go for a bit of a feed. It was pretty choice eh. This hot fluteist was checking me out, and Dylan got pretty jealous. He was all up thinking that she was flirting with him, but when i pointed out that i was much better looking than him, he bought a giant gobstopper to lessen the pain. (got photo's of the extreme candy).

And thats what happened for the first full day. Pretty nackered, so we headed back to the hostel for a big sleep.

When Dawn appeared, fresh and rosy-fingered, (sorry i've been reading Homer's Odessesy and that gets repeated like every page and a half) we woke up to ANOTHER big breakfast, and made our way to the Tower of London. It was choice bro. We saw some outrageously cool Armour (they had a King Henry VIII exhibit. he was an extremely fat man) and the Crown Jewels. After grabbing some epic photo's, we walked halfway across the Tower Bridge. After grabbing some more epic photo's, we ended up walking to St. Paul's Cathedral. We then found out that Italy had that big earthquake, which we thought somewhat ironic as we're spose to be going there. but i assume many people knew that already as they've read our itinerary. Once we gained entrance to St. Paul's Cathedral, it was unbelievable, the amazing attention to detail over such a large surface (the roof, walls, monuments etc) was wicked. Buttt unfortunately for everyone else people aren't allowed to take photo/video so yeah. Gutted. After reaching the top of St. Paul's for mad views of the city. After that everyone was basically complaining of how they were so tired and ended up travelling back (by Underground, the best way to travel) to Holland Park. (More to come on this day relatively soon!)
