To recount the tale thus far, we had no issues at the MSP airport as we flew out of the Humphrey terminal. The flight to Iceland was pretty long. I was thinking it was a lot closer to North America, but now realize why it is still considered Europe. However, Iceland Air did provide me with ample leg room which I fancied.
Iceland was a barren desert and they have only a paltry selection of goods to consume in the airport: be advised.
The next leg flew us into London Heathrow and the fun began. We took the tube right to our hostel in Camden Town. We looked at the shops in the area. There are tons of them that have every single item you could ever want. The fashion here is pretty different too. I would venture to say different in a good way. After that we went back to the hostel for the night and passed out right away.
The next day we took in more traditional sights. We strolled through Regents Park, Queen Mary's Garden (Grandma Onie would love it), and down to the Eye of London. We didn't ride because the line and pricing were ridiculous. Instead we went to the aquarium which was delightful. After a long day of walking we tubed home and enjoyed a few glasses of London Ale. During this we met a load of people staying in the Hostel. 4 guys from Austrailia, 2 girls from the US, a girl from Canada, and one from Brazil. Everyone was super nice and we might hook up later on the trip.
Today was more a relaxing day in which I took not 1, but 4 naps. A little more strolling was done and now we will have our last night in London.
Small change in plans. We are going to Lisbon tomorrow instead of Paris because it worked out better.
I'll tell the story later my time is almost out.
Cheers!
Michael
