London

Only two days in London so far and it is GREAT. Yesterday was the first tour of big sites such as Big Ben and Buckingham palace. Today was the British Museum and Camden markets. The British Museum is amazing, huge, and, very importantly, free. It contains many excellent items from around the world and really gives a great impression of the development of civilization. Camden Markets are interesting, although mostly overpriced. Then the expected trip to a show failed to occur due to the lack of seats, so a small(ish) group proceeded to a pub to have a nice dinner. The only downside so far is the accommodation, which has an average temperature of about 50 Degrees, and is small, cluttered, the breakfast has the same texture as a car tire, and I have to sleep with my head wedged in one corner of the bed and my feet hanging of the opposite. However, as we spend little time in the Hostel and we are in London, it is of little importance.
