Long plane flight from Canada to London, no problems except for the fact that I couldn't get my seat to recline correctly so it was nearly impossible for me to sleep. I think I got maybe an hour's snooze on the plane and 10 minutes snooze in the hostel room today.
Sat next to a Canadian National Guard who was going to Afghanistan to drive trucks for 5 months. He had 3 connecting flights in his itinerary to get there! Hard to complain when you've got that to compete with.
Met up with Hannah with no troubles at the tube station. Love Oyster cards! (I would love them even more, except they need to work on the "you can swipe it without taking it out of your wallet" feature. It's not working yet.) I was very glad to have the card because it made the million and one tube trips we took today soooo much easier. Hannah and I ran all over this afternoon looking for a place to eat and it wasn't until 9pm that we actually got to sit down. I was OUT of gas. NOT functioning correctly. kind of grumpy. I had a specific restaurant in mind that I had gone to before (very nice, wooden tables, cool atmosphere) but we couldn't find it. I suspect we turned around just before we got there. We ended up running all over town looking for a decent place that didn't look too formal. TIRED. We finally arrived at a sidewalk restaurant right off of London Bridge and in the shadow of a beautiful old cathedral (Mom, we've been to that location). It was pretty good, but a little expensive. I'm going to be happier with a grocery store.
By the way, my hostel has four parrots out front in a cage. yeah. I'll upload a picture later.
