The flight was long and I was fortunate enough to catch some sleep eye. I fell asleep about 2 hours after takeoff and woke up with only about 2 hours left in the flight. I really wish I could say the same for Cheri. She hardly slept at all.
It took a few hours for us to make it from Heathrow to the hostel. Between the nearly hour long tube ride to having to get our tube passes for the week, we finally checked in around 3:45 ish. It felt good to hop in a shower and change into some fresh clothes. When we got to our room, (we are in a room with 6 beds in it), there was a girl in there sleeping, at 4 in the afternoon. She kept giving me dirty looks when I was getting all my stuff sorted through so I could shower and change. I want to look at her and say, hey it's 4 in the afternoon, you're in London, and you are SLEEPING!?! Crazy I tell you. After getting freshened up, we headed out to grab something quick for dinner and then we walked back to the hostel. When you're tired, it makes for a long walk. So now we finally have our Internet access setup and we are just sitting in the lounge taking it easy (I think Cheri is asleep next to me;)). I want to stay awake for at least a couple more hours and then if the weather holds out, I think we are headed for a hop on/off bus for the day tomorrow so that we can get a real feel for where things are to start out. I will close out for tonight with just one picture for now. I have loaded the few others that I have taken today onto my iPad yet. If i can connect in the room, I will get the others up later this evening for sure. But we shall see. So I leave you with this one picture for now, the big bird we flew across the pond in.
