London

BIG BEN My first experience of London was at 5:30 in the morning. We had just flown 23hrs from a hot summer Aussie day but all of a sudden keeping warm seemed rather impossible. A bus picked us up from the airport and we had so much luggage that the boys had to start loading into onto the back seat of the bus and cramming seats with everyone. Craving food and sleep we were disappointed to arrive at the hostile at 6am and realise we couldn’t book in till 2pm. “Oh no we are in London and what will we do for the day?” Stupid hey. However luckily it was somewhat easy to amuse over selves, I mean apart from the usual tourist attractions aka Big Ben, The London Eye, Piccadilly Circus, Convent Garden markets, Buckingham Palace – the changing of the guards... we spent most of our time checking out the cosy little pubs around Trafalgar Square after all the sun did go down at 4:00pm and the sudden darkness meant us Aussies needed a drink desperately! Plus if we wanted to gain a Heathrow injection (the raved about necessity weight gain of the Gappy) this was how we were going to have to do it…pints of London Pride and deep grilled chips or ‘crisps’ as the English refer to them as. Ask someone how they enjoyed their Gap year and you will gain the stereotypical alcoholic response.
