We had to get up super early Wednesday (Sept. 5th) to catch our flight to London. But it was a nice smooth ride to London, and soon we were outside. It was definitely a nice change going from hot and humid to cold and overcast. We made our way to our hostel, which had a very homey and comfy feeling. Which had a very interesting way to reach our room. Kayla and I were in a 21 female dorm room upstairs, and Kitty was in a 4 female dorm room downstairs. It was an adventure trying to find our room. We were told that the we were in room 302, so we got on the elevator, but it only had to level 2. So we went back to the lobby to get directions. Our directions to our room was "go to the second floor, find the bathroom to the left of the stairs, go inside and there will be another set of stairs, this will take you to the third floor, and then your room will be there." Our room was huge and was actually split up a little bit. There were probably about nine beds in the first half and 12 bunk beds in the second half. Kayla and I were in the first half, so we didn't have to climb any ladders and the curtains around the bed created privacy. Even though it seemed a little weird at first, I got used to it and got really cosy in my little cocoon. We didn't have any concrete plans, so we decided to go to the British Museum. I have to admit that museum is huge with so many things to look at. We were there for a couple of hours, but we probably only saw about half of everything. Some of the highlights was seeing the Rosetta Stone, different mummies, Easter Island head, and sculptures from Greece and Rome. However, the part that made me laugh was when I saw a bunch of scarab beetles, I couldn't help but think of this scene from The Mummy. After we left the museum, we went out to get some fish and chips. They were pretty good and came with a pea puree and gravy. I didn't try any because I was using my trusty vinegar on my chips. Kayla and Kitty said it was pretty good though. But if I were being honest, I prefer Two Fools back in Albuquerque over this one. The food is tasty and I love the ambience at the "tavern" back home. After dinner, we got on the tube to head back to the hostel to relax and rest before the next day. |
