In all of my worldly travels, I had never been to Britannia. I am happy to announce at about 2pm local time I finally made it to England and I arrived in London on schedule at 2:40pm. Pretty exciting to be somewhere new internationally for the first time in almost three years. I hardly know where to start. And check this out: it was sunny today. Plus it was about 15 degrees F warmer than I have experienced in a week. It was like they were expecting me.
Very impressed with Generator London, so far (my hostel). No smells that don't belong, pleasant roommates, great common areas. Not grossly expensive. In-house bar and restaurant. Fast and free Internet. I could get used to this.
I am sitting in the bar as I write this (3 quid pints of Guinness) and the bartender and I just watched two German guys go out a glass door that does not lead to the bathroom. The bartender just told me that the hallway they went into goes nowhere and there are no handles to grasp to come back inside. Sure enough, about 45 seconds later we watch them walk back up and they are standing outside the door. I am glad that didn't happen to me.
I expect to be meeting my Vista Way roommate from 20 years ago tomorrow for a pint and a bite. Walt Disney World College Program: Bringing people from around the world together for over 30 years. Shameless plug--if you know anyone interested, encourage them to do it Disney College Program
Okay. I am wrapping this up. Still at the bar. Apparently seven hours have passed. There was a lot of billiards and a cool Australian dude named Anthony. I stand by my belief that the best travelers are Australians. I am thinking of Katie and Miranda as I write this. I can now add Anthony to the Melbourne list.
Wishing you were all here. Bach out.
