England Part 2

Later in the evening I met up with a friend for a few beers. It was good to catch up. I stayed in a hostel there were 12 of us in one room that had triple bunk beds. Of course I had the top. About 6:00 in the morning someones alarm started going off. All of us but 3 woke up and nobody knew who's alarm it was. So after 10 minutes I tried to get out of bed and fell the three levels to the ground and busted my ass.... 

So after embarrassing myself I headed out for a bit. I went to the London Transport Museum.

It was very expensive! Honestly kind of disappointing to

This was one of the coolest parts. An original steam locomotive for the underground. To keep the tunnels clear to be able to see they converted the steam back into water.

There was some old buses also

After the museum I had lunch and just walked around some more.

Then I hopped a train south to a town called Whitstable to visit Tom an old motorcycle friend.

Tom and I went bar hopping that evening before checking in for the night.

The next day we walked around in the daylight

We found that someone had set up shop in my cottage!

Here are is the dock

From there I went back to London then got another train to Hertford. I went there to visit a friend I met at Lemans a year ago. It was his 60 birthday. Of course I didnt get any photos with all the drinking going on I was plenty busy.

The day after the party I went back to London then jumped on my plane back to Kiev. London was great but way to expensive. In 4 days I spent what I would spend a few months in Ukraine....

Quickly off to England!

Sometimes life throws you for a spin. I had bought tickets a few months previously to travel to London and visit friends. Then the beginning of September I found out I was going to be out of a job. Well life happens and I already had ticket to London so off I go!

Once I got to Gatwick it took over an hour to get through passport control. Then a quick train to the city and found my hotel. While I was looking for my hotel I stumbled across this church so I stopped to have a quick look see.

It was quite beautiful inside and very strange to be able to walk around and read everything in English.

I then found my hotel checked in dropped my bag off and headed out!

I came across all kinds of things. I believe this was near Buckingham Palace

The palace itself

There was this huge park to stroll through. Just beautiful but a bit chilly

This was some kind of horse training grounds.

A monument to the work the women did during WWII I thought was rather interesting

Then they had this giant statue of me right down town! I am not sure whats going on the dates on it were a bit off but I guess not everyone is perfect :)

The world famous clock

Big Ben and it was pretty big!

Then I saw this guy! I figure if worse comes to worse I can always pick up a traffic cone and sing through it and hope for money.

Near the big ferris wheel was this wonderful lady playing and singing. So I set there eating a banana and listening to her for a good while.

I just kept wondering through the city with no particular plan and nowhere to go it was nice
