The Long Road Here

Well I suppose I better let everyone know how I got here. From Perth Airport in Western Australia, I left on a KLM flight at about 4:30pm bound for Kuala Lumpur. The "Interactive In-Flight Entertainment" was swish! I got photos but I forgot to bring my camera card so I can't show you. I watched Happy Feet, Norbit and a TV program about science and modern tek. Meals were pretty decent serves and regular too. When we got to KL i was looking out the window before we landed and saw all the stree lights and cars going around. The streets look like someone threw spaghetti on a plate. I barely had time for a shit when I got off the plane. I didn't manage to get an souvenirs either :( On the long haul to Amsterdam there was only a crappy tv at the front of the cabin so i could hardly see the movie, Not that i wanted to watch it anyways. Sleep is good but hard on a plane. It was about 6am Monday when we got to Amsterdam, cozy and cool. I thought the lady at Perth Airport said i would have to re-check my baggage in at Amsterdam so I went to the Luggage collection area only to find out that my bag wasn't there. Then i had to go ALL THE WAY AROUND and check in again, go through customs again, and find the right terminal... Again. After that I had pleanty of time to look around buy a couple of things in Euro. I even had a bourbon and cola. Got chatting to an American guy (with a lazy eye) at the bar. He was plastered but you could hardly tell. Exept the fact he kept saying "I'm trying to write myself off". Quick flight to London and I was happy as a pig in shit. Until I couldn't find the piece of paper i needed to get transfer to the YHA and the 2 nights accomodation that was booked for me! I had to catch the Tube to Paddington Station where i had a nice warm shower for the first time since Saturday. Surprisingly i lasted the whole day all right without too much jetlag, then Tuesday came around and bit me on the ass. So yeah thats pretty much my story so far. I type this post from an internet cafe at Charing Cross Underground. Watch this space.... <--so lame! Rusty

This is the third time I've typed this out... because I keep accidently clicking back instead of hide preview. It's really annoying.

Ok, so now I'm on a decent computer I can post some pics.

I went on the British Airways London Eye last night just before it closed at about 9:00pm.
So it was just about a sunset flight.
There was a hot pommy bird aswell, but she was with her boyfriend :(

I got a package with the London Eye ticket including tickets to:
Madame Tussauds
and
The London Dungeon


I booked a flight today from London to Belfast for the 25th June returning 9th July.
£72 thank you very much, which is about $185.
My mobile phone has a currency converter on it :D

Ok, Picture time.

It's me again. FINALLY! Sorry to all of you who have actually been checking for updates. I didn't realise people still looked at my blogs, infact I completely forgot about it in the first place. This is just a quick one because I don't have much time left on my net voucher. I'm in England, right now in the back common room of Earl's Court YHA east of london central. The weather isn't too bad just like a cold Waroona morning except it doesn't warm up in the afternoon. The sun goes down about 9pm - 9:30pm. Sorta like day light savings, except it comes up at about 4am. Which sucks. Ok more on the subject and other things later. SU!
