Well, what a splendifirous time I am having! It is so knarley here in the UK. I have finally found that special "Oh my god, I'm no longer in Oz, I am so in the UK, oh my god, there's Tower Bridge!!!" (which I thought was London Bridge but apparently, no). I also experienced this feeling when seeing Big Ben in the distance, which was difficult as it was raining and very misty... so through the mist, I saw the Houses of Parliament. Heh.
So wandered around there, got drenched, tried to go to the toilet, it cost 50p so stuff that. Found a pub for lunch (FREE toilet), wandered down to Trafalger Square, didn't feed the birds for tuppance a bag, wandered past Downing Street (there's a gate on it! with cops and everything!), went back to Westminster Abbey, did the tour (too many dead people - it was quite eerie), then went to the parliament houses tour but big ben was closed for repairs, so no tour of him. Bugger!
With very sore feet, I met Vanessa after she finished work and we took amusing photos out the front of the Globe Theatre. Then caught the tube to Leicester Square, bought tix to Chicago and watched a show in the West End! It was tres exciting!
Today, I'm going shopping on Oxford Street and checking out Harrods. Am so going to get that Harrods bag so I can swan around Ads.
Until the next exciting thing happens... or I can find a place to upload photos...

Hi Cass
Marvellous - being part of all that history - your London experience sounds great.
Not much happening in downtown Salisbury East (Australia)except you are the only one receiving mail - yes your tickets (Muses) have arrived. Well its the week-end coming and you guessed it - Come on Port Adelaide
(that's holding the ball!!!!!!!!!!!
f##k those 'coloured' maggots)
Lots of Luv - Mum and Dad
Fantastic that you've got the wowee feeling of being in all these far away places. BTW don't know if this helps at all, but Skye and I took our cameras to camera shops and they burned our pics to a disk (for permanent storage) which we then used to upload onto the web at net cafes. These is probably all very old school now, for those of us with 8 billion gig ipods :P
Hope you get the pics thing sorted. If all else fails get Vanessa to do it at work haha.
p.s. your dad is scaring me.... ummm... gday Mr Wilson! Go Power!
I can't believe the name mum & dad has already been taken...tp
Howdy TravellerCass. You are so amazingly super cool having such super overseas fun. I'm super jealous. So glad you have that excited feel and managed to recover quickly from standing around watching the toilet water go down the other way. (sad) I can't wait to see the pic of the telephone box. You'd better have taken one or else - pow - right in the kisser! Keep up the stalking good work.
