So it is officially 1:35pm in London and it's only 25 more minutes until I can actually check into the hotel. I am at the lounge, have been since 12:45pm, I guess for the second time. I am so tired, I feel like sleeping on these very comfortable couches. I have only gotten an hour of sleep on the plane because well it's not really in my nature to go to sleep at 10pm (our time), so my body is all mixed up because of the time change.
I was perusing the city today, seeing as how I had a lot of time to kill. I ended up at Trafalgar Square, but I originally started at Westminister. I took the tube which is pretty good, except I still prefer the ttc (subway) over it. Walking from one line to the next takes forever! They should have a train that goes from line to line. And there are so many lines so it's a little confusing. I happened to end up close to Buckingham Palace and I wanted to save that visit after my "sleep", there's a huge Christmas tree near the National Gallery so I figured I'd go back there tonight and take a few photos. I've already taken a lot of photos. I am in none of them because well I have gone here alone...
I am really enjoying my visit here, it's everything I thought it would be and I've built it up in my head so much that it would only set me up for disappointments but really it's lived up to the hype. I should upload my photos so I can clear up some space. I wonder if my hotel room has a television, I am so sleepy but I could go for watching some BBC, I wonder if extras is showing repeats.
Oh gosh, 19 more minutes, must stay awake, must stay awake.
Will update with more things later. For now surf the net to keep me up.
