Well this is the second time I'm writing this thanks to the cable that was supposedly charging this laptop not actually being pushed in far enough...sigh. Anyways, here's what I've been up to so far... * Arrived at Heathrow around 5:30am * Somehow successfully found my way to Simone's place * Met up with Mike & Ange from school at a pub where we were met by Adam (Kim's cousin) * Went to Buckingham Palace to visit the Queen...she was not amused * Went to another pub (It's okay, I only had diet pepsi!) * Met Simone after work and went out for dinner at this very cool dim sung (?) place called Ping Pong (NOTE: kinda like a yum cha restaurant, only you order what you want from the menu rather than pick it off a cart, then they bring it all out. Turns out our waiter was from Melbourne so we got 2 free drinks each and dessert for free! I love Australians) * Took the train home from Waterloo station * Went to bed around 11:30pm...phew! So now I'm making my first travel journal and trying to pysche myself up for a shower which will eventually lead to me leaving Simone's apartment to check out Putney and hunt down cheap hand bags. Hope you're all well. Take a look at my photos and I'll keep you updated with my travels to Sweden on Friday!

A double-decker bus..der!

Hope you meet lots of cool people, learn lots and come home enriched by all you experience! Yep, I'm already thinking about you coming home (even though I live in another state)!
