Friday 30th December - Friday

Blog Friday 30th December, London.

Christina

Today I woke up super early due to a stupid body clock - 4am gosh!

After a long stop in a starbucks, to recharge and check the Internet, we set out to go to the British Museum. We took the Underground to Oxford Circus (same as yesterday) and started walking in the general direction. Found a UniQlo on the way and had a nice time looking at the men's clothes. Charles bought a lovely burgundy corduroy shirt and Christina bought a black cardigan to replace the one she lost in New York. Great!

We continued on to the British Museum. First we saw the Rosetta stone which was amazing and wonderful. Then we stopped for some lunch at the canteen. It was nice (or so we thought at the time).

Then we looked at the ancient Greek statues and some other stuff before heading out into the town again. We walked down Oxford street and browsed some other shops. It was raining but nice. We really had fun walking and talking. We walked all the way back to the hotel, which took hours, because we probably took a stupid route and our feet were wet.

Back at the hotel Charles started feeling sick around 5 and has been really sick all night. He's resting now and I'm going to the chemist first thing for him to get some gastrolyte or whatever. I hope it's over now. We are blaming the sandwich he had for lunch that I didn't have. It seems that London is just a fun place that makes people sick. Me last year and now Charles. Maybe we won't come back again.
