Off to Oxford

Okay, so my official tour started today. I’m the youngest person by 20 years, all but the tour guide who is in his late 20’s.  And I’m surrounded by a bunch of aussies even the tour guide if from Australia..

The country side is beautiful. Seen lots of sheep on the drive to Oxford, our first stop of the tour.

Tour of London

Today I toured London with a tour group and got to see the Queen and the royal family.  Here should be the links to the videos on my youtube page.

Met 3 couples from Nevada that were really having fun.  I even went to a pub in the evening to sample some local beers and guess who showed up..

So here is my shout out to Carl, Don, Arthur and their wives.   Sadly, they are here for a different tour of England.

Hyde Park to Harrods = Bad Idea.

So, I got this idea that Harrods wasn’t all that far from my hotel.  It was just on the other side of the park.  Yeah right.  I only turned on my running app when I decided to come back, it was 1.02 miles so there and back again was 2.04 miles.  Checking my fitbit I walked 6.4 miles today.  I’m over my jetlag but now my back and left big toe are hurting.. You see the domed like building behind me, …  way back there?  Would have been another 5 minutes of walking according to the sign I used for support. 😦

But here are some pretty pictures I took while walking in Hyde Park.

So now what?

Good news first.. The fire alarm at 12:10am was a false alarm. Now how do I get back to sleep after that aerobic workout of running down 8 flights of stairs?

Day One London

Ok, made it into London.   They did serve dinner and a breakfast on the plane.  I didn’t sleep much cause the old dude behind me kept getting up and to use the bathroom.  He had to use my headrest to pull himself up 😦  I could have also watched some of the newest released movies; however, my video screen didn’t work 😦

The room at the Thistle is not worth the price.  It pretty beat up.  Could use some new carpet and fresh paint on the walls.  But wait the room lacks, it makes up for on location.  it is very centrally located and can you can get to many of the tourist attraction with a short walk; if you are willing to brave London traffic.  OMG, between the guys in suits riding bicycles to the messengers on motorcycles zipping in and out and between cars, I’m surprised there aren’t daily accidents.
Well, I’m off to find lunch and a mobile phone provider for data.  I’m not digging using the “free” wifi at the hotel.Image

What have I been up to

Well since school ended a month or so ago I’ve pretty much just been watching TV and playing a new MMORPG called Eve Online. I did start a new flower bed in my backyard but its pretty hot here so its on hold until cooler temperatures arrive.

Church camp was this week and I helped film all the activities. I wish camcorders where so easy to use back when I went to camp so I could watch them again. I’m glad I’m being able to help these teenagers capture this point in time.
