London town: 24th - 30th september
Now
grega and I changed our plans a bit for a few reasons. First and foremost we got wind that fat boy slim was playing at brighton beach on the 27th sep which in our
eyes was something that simply couldn't be missed! also hurls was flying into london on the 24th so it was
gonna be easier for him too... After 3 trains, a bus, a 10 hr wait at an airport, a plane and another bus we finally arrived in london! thank god! we
crashed and burned the first day we were there then we did all the
touro things on the friday including big
ben, the eye, westminster abbey, buckingham
palace and a few pubs of course!
We kept the friday night in check as we knew the saturday was gonna be an absolute monster of a day! And boy did it not disappoint! Loz woke greg and I up at 3am and shoved a cocktail straight down our throats and chucked on some barnesy, happy grand final day in london! bang! by 5am we were smashing up the temple walkabout and there was a massive crew of us. It was the first granny I hadn't been to in 5 yrs but the temple certainly didn't dissapoint! by midday we were absolutely polaxed after countless snakebites and whatever else was going but our day was still only just starting...
By 1 we were on a train down to brighton beach and thankfully i slept the whole way to sober up a little... Now, whats all this crap about the london weather?? we couldn't have asked for any better, it was absolutely super! The acts before fat boy were pretty good and were the perfect warm up before he took the stage at 8.30ish. unfortunately it was too good a waarm up for grega who did a number on himself and had to put up the white flag with an hour to go- it was funny as. Unfortunately I lost the camera which i took with me to fat boy (what else would you expect from me) but it seriously was one of the best things i've ever been too! it was fuckin awesome and i was wrapped we decided to come to london for it!
The next few days we just kicked back in london with one of the highlights being a trip to the speakers corner in hyde park. basically anyone can head there on a sunday and start mouthing off about any subject they feel passionate enough to speak about. For example, one guys topic was "all jews are racist" so he got up there and started expressing his opinion and as you could imagine it didn't take long for the jews in the crowd to start having a go back, it was great viewing! particularly when your a little scattered on a sunday and need a cheap laugh at the expense of others...
anyways thats about it from london, for now... next stop AMSTERDAM!
