my family in London will be away until 6 April.
The Boat Race is on 2 April.
Dang. Ah, well, it's a more authentic travel experience for me. And I've already found a place that has availability and is L12.50 a night. (don't mind my using letters for money symbols.)
katancelt, know anything about hostels in London? Specifically I'm looking at the Generator Hostel right now. Also, does the underground run 24 hours? (Looks like the hostel in question is between Euston Square and Russell Square tube stations.) How close to the center of London are the shows? Do you happen to know where in relation to all of this a boat race would take place?
Today: buy posters, an hour of awesome arch, and shopping with Ashley. Maybe a fencing meeting in the evening!
Bah. The Generator's a party hostel and no doubt about it. They've got a bar downstairs -- I think I wouldn't care enough since the price is the cheapest and I know they have availability the two nights I need it.
