Leaving London with a BANG!

August 5th: First off, my trip to Denmark got off to a really rough start. Because my flight from Stanstead Airport was leaving so early (7 AM), and because I had to be at the airport around 5:30, I chose not to sleep anywhere and just run on fumes and hope to get caught up on the flight.

I had to catch a 3 am bus from Hyde Park to another station and from there take a shuttle to the airport. Well, I tried to catch the bus, the driver sped away, I tripped and face-planted, and ultimately I either bruised or cracked my rib, skinned my elbow, and banged my chin! From this point on, I have put a curse on the driver, his kids, grand kids, and dog's puppies! Ugh! That hurt!

My last day in London was SPECTACULAR though! I went to Churchill's WWII bunker and the Churchill museum, walked all over London, and ultimately just watched the Olympics in Hyde Park! I was definitely more than happy to leave my hostel, as it was AWFUL! Nothing like having to walk two flights of stairs to take a shower or use the bathroom,, sleep on a bed that might have been infested with something, an deal with impersonal receptionists. Such is life though, and WHO CARES... I SAW THE OLYMPICS!!!!'

  1. Hey Cool. You went to the Cabinet War Rooms. One of my favorite historical places I've ever seen. Hey, you and Ivor are right across from my room at the new school.
