Valentines Day massacre

Saturday, 14th

oohhhh valentines day!

For a reasonably intelligent human being it took me entirely took long to get out of Heathrow, but i'm prety much and expert now. I was able to store my big bag at the terminal so I didn't have that weighing me down all day. After spending the better half of the morning in the tubes I emmerged at the london bridge, it was so energizing to be outside in a new country. SIDE NOTE: Val - Pret A Mangers are everywhere. I went as far East as i wanted to and got some hopefully great shots of the tower of london, the bridge and these cool buildings on the water. I made my way west back towards the airport and stopped at Parliment, big ben, westminister abby and saw the Royal Calvary. I was told that Big Ben isn't the clock but the actual bell, although now that i actually write that down - im gonna call BS on that.

the tubes are pretty easy to navigate ( about as easy as the metro, but with better coverage) I was getting cold and tired so i headed back to the airport. gathered my junk, helped a mom and her kid get to terminal 4 (the long-haul international flights) and went to the counter to check in. So at about 9 i should be getting in the air on my way to bangkok (landing at 5pm Sunday evening) welllllllll I said should. actually my flight is delayed 5 hours so thats why i get to be online typing away. I won't leave until 2:30 am Sunday morning landing at (i think) 10 pm sunday night

i have no idea, these time zones and 24 hour time is killing me.

wish me luck!
