2010.10.23 - London II

Walked up, walked again back to the city, together with all my belongings. I was going to change hostel. The one in the east of the city (the cheapest of the youth hostel hostels, "Thameside") was really quite remote. And expensive. And shabby. So I moved to another hostel where I walked to, with all my luggage. I walked to the London bridge, I walked to Monument, Bank and all the skyscrapers, St. Paul's, Trafalgar Squ., Green Park. There I went to the first hour of the free guided tours (the guide was the actor of the current Mikado commercial!) and then I took my first non-walking journey to the London Eye. There, I met two friends, one of which we surprised with me suddenly being there, she was going to leave to New Zealand, so it was really good to see her again .. Who knows when we are going to see each other next time!! We took a river cruise back to London Bridge, had a fish and chips around Covent Garden. Then they had to go, and I went to Kings Cross to make a bit of Warner-Bros sightseeing, and yielded to my desire to watch a movie. So I saw Schwarzenegger and Stallone. I am glad that my English is already so good that I can fully understand Stallone! After that, another bit of walking, and finally bed. Hello, blisters! Second time in my life (I think) I got blisters. What to do with them? Ignore them! So, now to the central hostel called White Ferry (1a Sutherland Street, Victoria), worth recommending.
