Hello everyone, it has been a very eventful trip so far. First of all our flight got delayed a bunch of hours in vancouver, and we had to switch our connector flight. Secondly, jamie almost didnt get admitted through US customs in vancouver for taking pictures of 'classified' material. then upon arrival in london, neither of our bags showed up in the carousel. about an hour later on our way to the customer service booth we found our bags piled on the ground. thankfully we both had some sturdy locks on our bags to protect all our valuables. following a trip into the city from heathrow we took the advice of some scrub and went searching for hostel's miles outside london city proper. good choice. anyways after some walking we finally found a cheap hostel and signed in for the night. after catching up on some sleep tuesday night, we chatted with our roommate a bit and got a hookup in Uganda which might work out well for us. wednesday we spent out on the town checking out museums, palaces, and parks, all the while dodging pigeons and angry taxi drivers.
What nick forgot to mention is as follows:
- Our diet has consisted of mcdonalds and subway, therefore to stay chisled, we needed to walk for 9 hours today.
- nick loves chattin in his sleep
- people in london walk as fast as the red rocket used to drive, they are always on their phone or listening to their ipod, and they are always looking at the ground.
- they also pay rent by the week, most of which are like 500 pounds a week. do the math.
- and lastly, but more importantly for most, we havent showered yet.
peaceeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Jamie lets me honest, it'll be a month before you take a shower!
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm thankful that I'm a female and that I would naturally do things a little differently while travelling.

Sounds like fun adventures already..illegal pictures, lost luggage, hostel hookups...
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you are keeping up your health with the walking, makes up for the poor eating choices. haha.. maybe shelley could give you some tips and ideas on how to eat a lil better, being a nutritionist and all ;) (no charge i'm sure).
Lookin forward to the next entry.
i recently was reacquainted with some old friends that told me to give you vagabonds a few shout outs. the first is from the legendary dick proenneke, the man we all hope to be like one day; even you nick still have yet to live up to his bushman manliness.
ReplyDeleteand the second is from a man needs no introduction, the master of the mic, mr crooked teeth himself, paul potts.
live up to their legendary status and be real men and kill a lion with the masai warriors. and jamie i will not think you are less of a man if you decide to wear a masai dress from africa instead of bv's shorts and underwear.
WHERE ARE THE UPDATES????
ReplyDeleteJamie be sure to wash your finger if you aren't going to take a shower.
ReplyDeleteLove,
