London Part 2

Day 2

Missed breakfast because my body thought it was 4am. So freaking tired! Finally made it out and to the Starbucks for some wireless action. This is going to be my new home. Took the train to the Doctor Who Experience exhibit. So freaking awesome. Rode in the TARDIS, fought some Daleks. Typical Friday morning. I decided to hop on the double decker bus to get near where I was going. Things I learned today: things on map are closer than they appear. Got on to only go 1 stop. And missed it. Wait, scratch that. I got off too soon and ended up lost somewhere around Holland Park. Not the park I wanted. Walked to the other one which was pretty far to only discover that I'm a big dummy for bringing the new sneakers I just bought to walk in. My pinkie toes hurt so much and I was only 2 hours into my day. I was 2 for 2 this Friday.
On my way I found my mecca--H&M. Bought a pair of flip flops then had some fish and chips at Rock And Sole Plaice. Established in 1871. I like history. Except I had fish and chips twice in less than 24 hours. I'm fish and chipped out already! Then headed to the Petrie Egyptian Archaeology museum and the British Museum. Observation and question: Why are there always so many Asian tourists?? Even in NYC. Do they work or do they just travel around the world constantly? It's like whole villages were in that museum. And they kept touching everything! The preserver of all things ancient in me was cringing.

By 4pm I was exhausted. And I already have a shinsplint. Great. Headed back to homebase and came to Starbucks to blog. 3 1/2 days to go....

Some observations: The men are more good looking here than the women and the pigeons are the direct descendants of NYC pigeons.
