Nodnol

Hello readers of my blog,
Thursday morning 11:30 I landed at Heathrow airport after a 9 hour flight on witch i managed to get 1 maybe 2 hours sleep, and my first human interaction in this fine country I recieved a bollocing from the woman checking my passport for putting it in my mouth..
Moving on, I managed to last most of the day at Gary's bar an hour or two nap when Gary put a movie on, however i made it out to the pub that night and didn't get back until 1 so i think this is acceptable.

Friday, bright and early, i was up and on the bus heading into London, we arrived at victoria station with a feint smell of smoke a result of my mind exploding at the epicness of this city, I got to my hostel and then went exploring. I saw many things on my travels that then lead me to the british museum where I saw many many more things, prety much everything but the rosetta stone, the one thing that i had been told a HAD to see by Glen, however I couldn't find it and ave up when my camera died.

Saturday, today, I bought my ticket to Paris from Amsterdam, I got the last seat on the train at 8:16 in the morning and headed back to the museum to see this stone of Glens. Now my camera batter had not charged at all durrin the night and i had to charge it via my lap top for the 10 minutes i was getting ready this morning so i had to save the life of it and take minimal pictures, in any case after 2 maybe 3 hours somewhere in the chinese portion of the museum it died, so i had to find a shady corner with a socket and charge my camera. I managed to charge it for a good 15 minutes before security told me i couldn't do that, so i went for a wander.
After maybe another hour of searching I had decided to give up, headed for the door but got lost and found the Rosetta stone.
