18/06/09 - London Day 2

Mairead claims to have only slept two hours. I slept ~4. We woke up at ~4 AM, and went downstairs at 5 to send out an e-mail to our parents, and update the blog.

Today's Plans:
British Museum
Piccadilly Circus
Trafalgar Square
National Gallery

Hopefully I'll get an internet connection on my netbook somewhere, and be able to upload pictures.

Update:
We ended up doing everything listed. The British museum was pretty cool. They have a lot of stuff from ancient Egypt and Assyria:



Radey's favorite items were the obelisks and the Egyptian false doors.


After the British Museum, we went to Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery.




Unfortunately, no photos are allowed within the Gallery.

After wandering the gallery for a while, jetlag and lack of sleep caught up with me. Radey seems to be dealing with it quite well >.>. We went to a pub and had lunch, hoping that would help. I had fish and chips, and Mairead had a cheese and chutney sandwich. We also tried a Pimm's, which was quite good. The lunch made me more tired, if anything. We wandered to Westminster Abby, and then headed back.




After a nap, we went out to Piccadilly Circus and walked all over.



Regent's Street has a bunch of large/classy shops. We went back to the hostel after this, picking up some chocolate, a Subway sandwich, and yogurt on the way. After eating, we went to bed.
