London and me, still going strong!

Yesterday I moved in to a hostel on Piccadilly square called Piccadilly backpackers. Now I'm in a dorm with 3 people, two boys and one girl. All of them are really nice and fun, my only problem is the temperature... Last night I slept in a t-shirt and boxer and it was still !&^*%* warm and MISERABLE, the Mexican next to me was fully dressed in pants, t-shirt and jumper and HAPPY. How is that possible? They should give people rooms after where they are from so that people like me can have it cold! Ah well, that's life!

I went to see St.Pauls Cathedral and listened to a choir sing, which was quiet and relaxing and something I can recommend. Just a small piece of advice, don't send text msg in church.......

Today I went to see the Changing of the Guards at The Buckingham Palace. That was a lot of waiting, a bit cold but fairly entertaining. I have also been to the Victoria and Albert museum which I found interesting - and all that. Hehe :) I have also had a walk around Harrods on my way back to Piccadilly and ended up with shoes from Chanel, a beautiful dress from Dolce and Gabbana and some other bits and pieces from Vendi. Yeah right!

Now I am back at the hostel to eat and change before "The Phantom Of The Opera". Yes Janne, you read it correctly! I think the next update will be on Thursday, and that goes for all the photos as well.

It always rains in London!

The last time I was here, on my 15th birthday, it rained and today its raining and apparently and according to the weather forecast it's the same tomorrow. I'll survive!

This has been a long day trudging around London. First I went to Camden marked which is a huge area with loads of shops and stands a bit out of centre. As a result of that event I ended up with a new hat and two t-shirts, so now I got
even less space in my backpack. If that is possible...

Afterwards I went to The Science Museum, which I had high expectations to, but sadly they did not redeem. I think the combination of not actually reading enough and way too many kids because of half term vacation made a strong contribution.
A short walk and a drink later I explored The Natural Museum of History and saw dinosaurs.

I also managed to see the opening of Tower bridge during the night which was quite cool.

This has been a long day and I'm off to bed.now. Night!
