English chocolate

I just thought I'd throw it out there:

English chocolate is about a million times better than Australian chocolate.

I bought some Cadbury Dairy Milk milk chocolate today for £1, just the plain chocolate, and it is far nicer than the chocolate of the same type sold in Australia. It tastes so much smoother and has a much richer flavour. So goot.

London journal entry 2

Today I had to vacate the hotel room that I was given by 10 am.
It was definitely the worst hotel room I have ever stayed in so I was glad to leave.

After packing up my stuff and leaving at the hotel for the people to move when my proper was ready, I grabbed some breakfast.
I found a little cafe thing that did a huge breakfast, so I had that.
From there I went to a big stadium called O2. In there, I went to a museum.
This museum showed the history of popular music in Britain.
It went from old rock in the 50s through early heavy metal, to punk and to the modern pop rock bands. It was actually really sweet. I spent alot of time in there. It had heaps of items that were actually owned by the musicians, such as Ozzy Osbourne's stage coat and one of Brian May's guitars. Absolutely fascinating.
Unfortunately, photography was not allowed in the exhibit. But I did get a good photo of me with a huge statue of Eddie the Head (Iron Maiden's mascot) outside the museum which was sweet.

After that, I had some Starbuck's coffee and caught the train back to the hotel. I got the key to my proper room and it is much much nicer. I unpacked and now I sit here typing up this blog.

Tomorrow I will be taking it easy because I am really exhausted.

London Calling

It is currently 5:30 local time here in London and I am sitting on my bed in the hotel.
As you may know already, I caught a bullet train to London from France. The train trip took 2 and a half hours.
The London train station is pretty huge, and it took ages to get out of the station and grab a taxi.

When we finally got to the hotel, there was a slight problem.
The woman that was staying in the room I had booked before me had a medical emergency and can't check out until tomorrow.
The only spare room is a very small room and they managed to cram to single beds in. Albeit they are both sitting right next to each other.
There is virtually no space now in the room. It is REALLY small, but at least it is only for tonight.
What a great start to my 2 weeks in England.

Because of this woman's unfortunate incident, both this room and my actual room that the woman is still in have to be cleared for the cleaners.
This means I have to spend all of tomorrow in the city out of the hotel. I was planning on spending tomorrow lazing and catching up on some energy after a week of running around 2 different cities looking at all the sites.
Not that I have any idea what I will be doing tomorrow, but London is huge and has plenty to do so I won't get stuck.

I will be London for the next week so it's going to be fun.
After that, I catch a train to Bolton via Manchester.
Bolton is a small town that my father grew up in so that could be interesting.
I will spend that following week traveling around some local areas and seeing what goes down.

Internet is not free at this hotel so don't expect to hear from me often, but keep checking this blog or my facebook if you are interesting in keeping up with what's happening. :)

I believe that's all for now. I need to buy some internet and upload this. I am currently writing this in Notepad haha.
But first, I want to eat and have a drink.
