Day 15

OK so I'm well rested, ready to take on London!

Had another WONDERFUL hotel shower.  Nice and hot and full.  Trimmed my beard and shaved my head.  I feel so clean when I do all that in a hotel shower.

After the shower I did a bit more work then hopped on a tour bus.  It was a hop on hop off type, so they drive by monuments and buildings explaining how cool they are and why they exist and you can choose where to get off and on again.  I went to a few cool places.  I saw Hyde Park, the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, saw where royal wedding took place, Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus and most cool of all... where Laurel and Hardy bought their bowler hats!  Yes, I have priorities.

For lunch I had a some amazing London cuisine, a Whopper from Burger King.  It had a little bit of a different flavour, but was basically a Whopper.  I saw some pretty cool art and two people fall down.  I'm guessing London has one of those weird centre of balance things going on.  Like these people wiped right out!  The woman slid very ungracefully and landed on her bottom, the guy landed really hard folded in half against a wall and his bottom.  If I was to grade the falls, the woman would have gotten a 6, the guy a 8.5.  If he had landed on his head or did a black flip too, he would have gotten a 10.

OK so here is something that has been bothering me since I started this whole trip.  What's up with all the smoking!?  Germany was pretty bad.  It seemed like there were a lot of smokers there.  Then I went to Scotland and it seemed like there were twice as many people smoking!  London, I swear they're all chain-smokers!  EVERYONE!  It is like they don't listen to the cancer warnings or DARE cancer to strike them!  I'm serious!  It is way out of control!  Kids, adults, babies in strollers!  EVERYONE!  At one point on my walk I actually had to walk on the street just so I could breathe again!  (I hold my breath when I pass smokers, then when I pass them I breathe out of my nostrils before I inhale again, just in case there is any smoke that entered my nose... yeah I know, but I hate smoke that much!)

Another thing I've noticed is Europeans love cheese and tomato sandwiches both with or without some sort of meat.  They always look amazing, but I can't eat sandwiches that aren't fresh.  I have this gag reflex thing with soggy bread.  I honestly can eat almost anything, but soggy bread is not one of them.  If I saw the guy make the sandwich right in front of me, I would probably get one, but these things are prepared hours ago and bread can't stand up to wet ingredients for that long without being affected.  Therefore, I would also be affected if I took a bite out of one.  EUuWaH-Ahh! Gross!

OH!  It didn't RAIN!  OH MY GOSH!  One whole day without rain!  Seriously, I can't believe it.  So I threw a glass of water on myself to remind me that I'm in Europe.  HA, just joking, I would be kind of ticked off if I did that to myself.  Yes, I'm a freak.

So what else went on today?  Hmmm... OH, I remember something!  I seriously saw about 15 teenage boys dressed like Duran Duran did in 1983!  Complete with haircuts and the sleeves of their leather zipper jackets rolled up!  I saw 5 women with 80's Pat Benatar haircuts and one guy that looked like both Duran Duran and Pat Benatar.  He was scary!

One more thing.  (This is for my friend Billy).  William, remember what I said about the hot chicks in Germany?  Well NOTHING compares to the hotties in London!  Oh my cow!  There are so many Kate Beckinsale grade hotties here.  So if you want to have a location to aim for, then here is were you want to be!  I'm not kidding!

Well my darlings, that's about it for today.  I'm still exhausted so I'm heading off to bed.  I will have more adventures to blog about tomorrow.

Nighty!
