September 18 - London



Flew to London today! It took 3 hours to get from Gatwick airport to my hotel in the city! Boo train system. I also didn't have any of my tour vouchers sent to me in the US and I was supposed to pick them up from London but they never arrived, so I had a bitch of a time checking into the hotel. Anyway, once that was sorted, I went to Picadilly to get my stupid train ticket dealt with. Basically, the deal is that I am going on a tour which goes from Berlin to Prague to Munich, and I was going to leave Prague a day early and then go to Munich. The head office for RailEurope is in London, and yet nobody there could sell me a Prague to Munich ticket!! BOO. What a shitty start to merry old England. Found an internet cafe though but everything here is super expensive (1 pound for 20 mins) and the customer service was nonexistent.

That night I was too tired and/or mad to get food or anything so I had cup noodles for dinner in my hotel room and watched TV (Law and Order) until I met my roommate Stephanie from Seattle. She seems cool. She just got back from a tour and she said Heathrow airport was shit and lost all her luggage so when she arrived in France she had nothing at all and had to buy everything from scratch, so I guess that it could have been worse.
