Bayswater: London Day 2
Today was much of the same from the Webster camp. We got up early, cruised into Hyde Park, walked around...and saw some crazy Brits playing softball. Oddest sight I've ever seen. Either way, we crossed the park to check it out and sat down under a tree (because it is fuckin' HOT in London right now) only to be asked to join in the fun. Apparently, almost all the players were 35-80 year-old U.S. businessmen whom are displaced in Britain. So, the only thing that gets there jollies off is playing softball. Either way, we played, it was funny hearing the couple Brits getting the rules wrong (stupid football players and their lack of sports comprehension). They invited us for drinks, but we had to decline because my whole body was burned. I love getting the wrong weather forecasts. It's fantastic to come dressed for a shit storm and end up walking around in the Devil's asshole.
Anyways, the end of the day went as followed (it's so much easier to number shit instead of actually writing up my whole day like above):
1) Went down to exchange Ellis' cash for pounds (exchange rate is nearly 2 to 1...our currency is SHIT) and was able to pocket half of it for booze. Yippee!
2) Saw more reports on the London bomb attacks and realized that flying is probably the worst of my worries. The whole thing is fucking depressing.
3) Took a double-decker bus to Westminster Abbey on the upper-deck...which had no air conditioning. Sweat off five pounds from Girtha.
4) Walked around White Street (or White Row - I can't remember...it's like walking down the mall in D.C.), which was completely cleared out because it is WWII rememberance day (60th anniversary). Saw planes fly overhead. Saw where Tony Blair does his Prime Ministering - AKA: Humping Bush's Leg. He's got some fly digs.
5) Drank a pint of Old Speckeled Hen at a pub where my dad was thoroughly amused when the bartender mispronounced "mushy" and "garden fresh" ("moosie" and "ga-en fresh") even though we're the assholes for not understanding them.
6) Walked five miles to the nearest bus stop and watched the Royal Family take a motorcade past us. That Prince William is a dreamboat. I wish I could bangers HIS mash.
7) Took another double-decker bus on the upper-deck. Nearly died from heat stroke. Took third shower of the day.
8) Watched the last 25 minutes of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie" because if you don't watch it when given the opportunity, you are a cultural fuck-up.
9) Contemplated buying some wine and cruising up and down the street and - maybe - to the park.
10) Realized my time is up for this internet cafe and had to go.
