the weather in london was perfect. perpetual air con all the time. irritating thing was i had to take off my sweater everytime i went indoors and put it on again when i'm leaving. grrrr. dramatic happenings when we arrived in heathrow though. mich was held up at the customs while harris was DETAINED!!! DETAINED!!! *faints* i only got wind of it when i went to see what had delayed them. but thank god everything was resolved in the end.
and oh the shopping haha. who can forget about the shopping, where primark and h&m were godsend. :) adyll, mich, rhoda and myself contributed over a 100 pounds altogether in that one afternoon in primark hurhur.
waiting for the tube.the tube was surprisingly easy to navigate once one gets the hang out of it. the only irritating thing? the numerous maintenance, delays and disruptions that occur throughout the entire day. bah.
scruffy takes the tube!i decided to opt out of the LOTR musical that the three of them wanted to watch in the evening. we kinda chilled out around covent garden for a while, bumped into beng hee who was going to meet his friend and then i wandered off by myself. i didn't exactly want to wander too far off, so i went back to oxford circus again, checking out the legendary marks & spencer before doing one more round of primark 15 minutes before they closed.
should have just bought it and hung it in adyll's car heh.a series of OH NOs. harris who left for amsterdam in the afternoon found out that the airport has misplaced his luggage!!! adyll misplaced his camera earlier in the morning and the left baggage counter has not reported any loss. and we're leaving for venice at 6am the next morning. we collected our luggage before midnight and lazed around for a while around victoria station before they started chasing people out. we made our way to the place where our coach would leave for stansted, and dozed off on the steps of some shopping mall, out in the open air. as the night went on, it got colder and colder, and lonelier and lonelier. perhaps this is what it feelsl ike to be cold and homeless.
victoria station, with a cute boy right in front :)4am finally came, and THANK GOD. we whisked our tired selves up, and then it was off to venice.
