Our first few days in London have been amazing. We did eventually find a host who we've been staying with for the past few nights- along with four other couchsurfers.

After a bit of a rough start on Wednesday morning(jetlagged and walking for a half hour in the wrong direction) we made it to Ewan's house. He made us pizza and we met Carla and Mathius, two couchsurfers from Austria. We all went over to Greenwich and explored that part of town, stopping at a few pubs along the way.

Yesterday we saw some of the main attractions and then at night went to this free underground art show- very interesting, ha d a scary twist to it. Strangly enough, with the free admission came two drink vouchers, so that was pretty sweet. There was an afterparty at a pub down the street where we met a bunch more couchsurfers- from Denmark, Poland, Turkey, and more. After that we went to this guys flat that must have been a penthouse or something- the views of London were amazing, no need to wait in line for the London eye.

We slept in this morning a bit and I think we are going to do the traditional English breakfast shortly. What else...twiglets are gross.... the ethnic food here has been wonderful though.

  4. The downside of a blog is all your loyal followers are disappointed when you go a few days without updates...
