Ok, I'm finally a little homesick.
I'm in London at the moment, and it is by far the best place I've been on the whole trip. The underground is easy - I realize now how MIND-BOGGLINGLY difficult Melbourne's train system is. If I hadn't lived there my entire life, I wouldn't have a clue. Trains run from different platforms, skip some stations and not others, and then skip those stations depending on what time of the day it is. It's crazy at home.
As it is, I'm missing my bed and struth, I'm missing my laptop. Desperately. It's probably a good thing that I didn't take it, because I'd never have left the wi-fi hotel rooms, but I miss it.
Most of all, I miss my KEYBOARD! The one I'm using now is impossible. It's the size of pinkie finge. Everything is squished and moved about three inches to the left.
London hasn't been anywhere near as expensive as I thought it'd be. For all my pre-leaving panic, I'm actually (and I never thought Id say this in my entire life) swimming in money. I have 500 euros that I just never used, as well as 100 swiss francs. Keep in mind I only had 150 swiss francs to start with.
We've seen heaps of places but, most importantly:
The Shakespeare Globe Theatre!
Not only do I love Shakepeare (Hamlet in particular) but Doctor Who! David had stood there! SQUEEEEEE!
Speaking of Doctor Who, I watched The Planet of the Ood last night, and it'so ok again tonight. I have such love for Donna. Everything about her is brilliant. She's hilarious but still incredibly touching.
Anyway, must be off. I missing you all terribly and I hope you're well.
Oh, and
dave7? One of my boots broke yesterday. The heel came clean off and I fell over. *sniffle* I was broken. The others have been holding up nicely though, so nah!
Also? There's a telly channel here on satellite, called Dave. It's catchphrase is 'the home of wit.' I laughed for about ten hours over that.
