Go Go Gadget Jojo!
Look at me! I'm in London!!(You're not the only one who's shocked by that news. I can't believe I made it successfully out of the airport, let alone on the train, down the street, to the right hostel.) I'm currently using the hostel computer, and I have 8 minutes left, so I have to make this fast.
The flight was pretty rough. We took off around 1:30am, and flew north, past Edmonton, over Greenland, over lots of ocean, and finally down onto London. The flight was complete with NO leg room, smelly people, 2 screaming babies 2 rows in front of me, and a guy sitting in the middle seat next to me DOING YOGA throughout the whole flight. Swell.
I made it off the plane, through customs, found my bag, made it on the correct train, then walked and found my hostel. Each step was one little victory for me, so feel proud! The hostel here is nice, with a coffee shop/ internet cafe downstairs, and rooms upstairs. I just finished breakfast, and managed to meet 2 other guys who were on my flight from Calgary. That's right, I flew halfway around the world to meet people from my own country. It's such a communal atmosphere here.
Room, that sucks about the money! I promise though, that as desperate as I'll get, I won't ever take all your money and flee to Croatia. (I would go to Switzerland.) And you BETTER be there tomorrow, or else! (I do know where you live, at least in one country)
Today's plans are to check out of the hostel, find out how to get to the next airport. Once I get there, I want to stash my pack and wander around the area for the afternoon, followed by a nap at the airport. Holy hell is London expensive! (but they have awesome dinner!)
Anyway, 2 minutes left, so I'll post again later. I can't seem to get my palm to sniff properly for wifi, but I'll keep working on that. Hopefully if that works, I would be able to post pictures as well. Ta everyone!
