I left off yesterday at plane landing. I can recommend United. Great flight, great service. Never fly Icelandair because they suck.
Coming into foreign lands requires a trip through customs. Yikes. When I got to the lineup for customs, the line was backed out of the cavernous room into the huge hallway. Thousands of people? An absolute shit ton. A lot. Many. Beaucoup humans. Can you say two hours? I can. At least it’s stimulating. The guy directly behind me in line coughed for two hours. Called his best girl and told her about cold. He needs juice and vitamins. His words and a shower. His words again and I concur. I hate people.
The customs officer made me give him my entire itinerary from memory. I did it on 1.5 hours sleep once I realized it was not a joke. What a dick.
I headed to the Tube station at the airport. I am meeting everyone at Westminster station when I get there. It was two hours. But at least a subway is stimulating. Like customs lineups. Sheer torture. I did have a little food. Haha.
Well, we met up. Hugs and kisses. And got right back onto the Tube to go to a place for lunch. Mayfair Chippy, the fourth best fish and chips in London. And I think, most expensive. Good and pricey.
After lunch we wandered the streets. Walked too far. Many miles. To Tower Bridge, Tower of London, Hyde Park, and Buckingham Palace. And I carried my luggage the whole time. Because it takes too much time to backtrack and put it away. Feel sorry for me. Well, we kept busy. We had dinner at a nice Punjabi place. Very good. The people there were fun and funny. Sorry, forgot the name. Far less expensive than lunch too.
So, I am really tired at this point. So we got on Tube to head to hostel. One hour. The coffee I drank at dinner kept me going.
We had to walk a couple blocks from station through a seedy neighborhood. Fine. Got there. Got set best I could. We gotta be up early, 6am, for flight to Paris. And what am I doing? Blogging. You are welcome. Short one. I am a little exhausted.
I shoulda kept blogging. My mind got hyped up and I was awake till 2am. Overtired? Don’t care. Slept straight thru till 6am. I had to resort to meditation to get to sleep. Old school Ambien. But, finally, good night.
pics please! 🙂
