Arrived in London!

  • Since I couldn't sleep, thanks to the Big, Loud Idiot, I got to watch a documentary about Chuck Jones. It was cool. Nobody makes cartoons like Chuck Jones.
  • Our hotel room is very small and very pink. It's in a good location, though.
  • BIDET! EWWWWW!
  • Hot and cold water have their own faucets on opposite sides of the sink. Hence, you can't get warm water to wash your face. You're supposed to fill the basin and splash your face with warm cootie-water.
  • Right.
  • Mmmm. Coffee Beat candy.

  • We went to the British museum. There were lots of cool ancient things plundered from distant lands for the sake of The Empire.
  • There was a very well-preserved man from like 1000 BC. He had been buried in a sand pit and was found totally dried out, but all intact.
  • Man jerky.
  • I felt really sorry for him. He was buried in the fetal position, and his butt was sticking up in the air. And tourists were pointing at his butt and taking pictures. I wanted to cover him with a sheet, to give him his dignity back.

  • We felt like throwing up from sleep-deprivation, so we went back to the hotel and took a nap.
  • Then I took a shower and flooded the floor of the Shower Room, which is across the hall from the Water Closet.
  • Then, Indian food. Good Indian food.
  • Schweppes Lemonade again! Yaaay! I haven't had that since Australia.
  • Weird sight of the day: seeing cars race an ambulance. Everyone tries to BEAT the ambulance here, not get out of its way.
  • This, I guess, is how Great Britain keeps its medical bills down.

  • We watched a weird soap opera about a penny-haired girl who shoplifts.
  • Then we hopped on a bus and went over to see some sights.
  • It's not a Ferris Wheel, it's a Millennium Wheel. Ferris wheels have two supports. This only had one, but it rotates really slow.
  • It's not Big Ben, it's the Stephens Tower. Big Ben is the 20-megaton bell inside the Stephens Tower.
  • Is it really only noon back home? We're going to bed now.
  • Boy are we glad we chose the optional extra day. We'll have the jetlag licked by tomorrow.
BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!

More London!
