so many sites, but did i see any? (shakes head)

After spending time in Africa, London was a complete change. It was cold, wet, loud, in your face, ugly, and very tiring. I wouldnt change the time i spent there though. Hung out with some cool people; cameron (WHO R U), simone (busy tonight), chris (dancin man), yuki (u rock), sarah (avril not) etc etc i know i forgot some but that was the alcohol and late nights. In London i did see a few sites but once the party scene started happening, all i did was party till 6am most mornings and sleep all day till the next one. DJ Jazzy Jeff Rocks, The Key, and other places etc......

finally, i miss Carling beer so much, oh yeah portabello road markets and bangers and mash.... try-em

Double Decker Buses

always seen these buses on television back home and to walk abouts seeing them on every street was a real treat. Didnt have time to catch one but still enjoyed wathcing the tourists and locals hopping on and off and traveling abouts.

London Bridge

Once again never actually got to London Bridge due to my night time activities interupting my touring activities. Did get to see it from a distance on one of Londons usual gloomy, bleak and miserably wet days. Don't get me wrong, i loved it, but after Africa - it was freezing.

    Thanks for the feedback. Stayed at the St. Margaret's for years. The Celtic is owned by another family member.....this gives me piece of mind that my April stay will be okay. Is the place clean?

    I didn't think you did that late night party thing. Glad you do :) It's fun every so often!
