London

Ok so yesterday took the ferry from Dublin to Holyhead. That was pretty cool. The eggs on the ferry were terrible and you should've seen the looks I got it was hilarious. Some people were already a bit green I think the idea of eating eggs probably didn't help them (the taste sure didn't help me but I had a full thermos of good coffee so it was aright). Anyway I took a train from there to London (I'll be going back to Northern Wales it was beautiful). By the time I got to London it was mid afternoon and it took me several hours to find the hostel (Equity Point in Paddington). it didn't help that I took the right bus in the wrong direction for a good hour and a half before getting on the one going the right way...I ended up having to make up the lost distance plus keep going on to Paddington which, of course, was wayyy at the end of the line. But oh well I made it so no big deal. Today probably going to take a tour of London and actually switch hostels. Tomorrow...I'm not sure. probably jump on a train and head North-West to the Welsh coast. We'll see. Anyway I've got pictures (and I'm about to have a lot more) I'll throw those up when I can. Hope all is well wherever you're reading this from.

  1. So you've learned something about public buses - ask the driver if you are on the correct one! :-)

    Oddly, some of the most interesting travel stories are always about the mistakes. Ask Grandma about our train ride from Paris to Versailles! (But you should still go see it - it's amazing.)

  2. hahaha yeah usually a good idea. tell me about it! moved to another one today and, once again, took a while finding it. I love the directions they give here...turn left at that street down that way then make a right somewhere down the next street, should be somewhere down that way. No worries I'll still go visit those.

  3. But think of all the things you got to see on the way! Sometimes the ordinary things are the most interesting- what's it like to live here, not just be a tourist?
