The flight into London was quite nice. I did not realize how green it would be. Very pretty. Clearing customs was a breeze. Found my way to the underground I bought an later card, already saved me the trouble of buying tickets each time.
Got on the Tube and quickly hit goal 1 of the trip met a girl from australia. She is moving here, crazy. Made my transfer, tube kicks the NYC subways butt!
Made it to my hostel after taking the long way, stored my luggage and was on my way. It was only 10 so I decided to get some breakfast and then watch the changing of the guard and buckingham palace.
Made it there. Both goals met in under 3 hours. If only college was that easy. It was packed was clue to see them march in and switch places to music, however it went a bit long. After this I decided to do a hop on off bus tour cause I was already tired and wanted to get a feel for the city.
I’m laying in my hostel bed, which, is surpisngly comfy and losing the will to keep going.
Love the charm of the city.
Got lost, ended up going a circle but enjoyed all I saw.
Big ben is cool in person.
Met a guy named Elvis.
All the old buildings are really cool!
Portland should use double decker buzzes like London does for normal busses.
I don’t like pounds.
Tea and a salmon and cream cheese bagel was a great choice.
I am so excited this is only day one.
Loving London,
Paul

I’ve decided to live vicariously through my friends who are abroad and have blogs haha. Did you try to make the guards laugh?
Can’t wait to hear more! Plus, had no idea you had a blog before this, it was interesting to see your review of the iphone haha and your experience washing feet under the Burnside bridge, very cool.

Sounds like you’re having a great time! That bagel sounded a bit disgusting through…have a great rest of the trip! We miss you, but Ginger doesn’t….
Love,
