Day 5 - Slacking

This hostel fills up tomorrow, so today I'll try and make a reservation for the rest of my stay. I accidentally ended up near the start of the chunnel yesterday, so I may pick something close to make that transition easier.

Stuff I saw yesterday:
  • Trafalgar Square
  • Entrance to Downing Street
  • Big Ben
  • Parliament
  • Random Statues of Important Brits (most notably Churchill and Cromwell)
  • Westminster Abbey
  • The Eye (a giant ferris wheel I didn't bother to ride)
  • Various stretches of the Thames
  • Shakespeare's Globe Theatre recreation
  • St. Paul's Cathedral
  • "National Anthems" starring Steven Weber, Mary Stuart Masterson, and Kevin Spacey (It was pretty good.)

Today I'm looking to find a new hostel, relax, and maybe see if I can find out where gamers gather in old London town. There was a reference to the Atari 2600 in the play that made me nostalgic. :)

It felt like I'd seen everything you could want to see on Thursday. And as for the transportation system, it was almost entirely walking. London's not easy to navigate all the time, but it's not too huge, either. Heck, my feet hurt more after the British Museum than walking around the city. :)
