After checking in the other day, we lazed about the hostel for the rest of the night, and ended up eating food from Tesco for dinner. Tesco is kind of like a Coles - except it's open until midnight. They also have an awesome bread/bakery kind of section, and we all seem to have taken a liking to the 'cheese twists' there. They also sell Krispy Kremes.
Everything has been pretty fun so far, and we have invented numerous games including 'camera wars' and 'beddingware wars' - it's like we're on school camp again or something. We had a pretty early night last night - as we were all tired from the flights and stuff - Ben didn't sleep at all on the flight over, so he ended up staying up for 40 hours in a row or something, poor guy.
This morning we woke pretty early - and headed off throughout London. We went to Piccadilly Circus, and looked at a few shops there. There was like a London (ie better) equivalent of Joynt Venture, and a lot of small places to get food.

We then made our way over to London Bridge via the National Theatre, and Sarah's horrible directions (ha).. and then onto the London Eye, Westminster Abbey and Parliament House.

After being entertained by a cool Jamaican busker, we headed over to Green Park and walked over to Buckingham Palace, after which we realised our 'off peak' Tube Passes were set to expire soon, so we made our way back to the hostel.#

Probably going to a Thai Buffet tonight - something like £3.50, or so we've heard. Will have to see how it compares to Ruby Thai.
Internet time is running out now, so I'll expand on this later on...
Cyaaa
