Arriving in London

Our day trip to London was started at 8 am in Edinburgh with a 4 hour train trip through the country to London. When arriving in London we made our way to the 9 and 3/4s Harry Potter spot to get a photo. We then got our tickets for the tubes, (the subway) and were off to our second hostel of our journey. After arriving in our hostel we went to a restaurant called the Crypt to eat. I drank a herbal sunflower soft drink and the house pork chop and vegetables. After this we called it a night as a group and Steven, Josh and I went to do a tourist attraction known as the Camden Pub Crawl. So far this was the best night of this trip and I doubt that it will be beat. During the pub crawl we met and talked with over 20 of the 80 people in the pub crawl, the majority being Australian. The craziest thing happen as we bumped into a guy who was from Indiana and when we asked where he responded Ball State. Truly a small world this world of ours. I enjoyed most of my time with a few Australians, a few Canadians, a few Germans, and some Brazilians just chatting most of the night. Apparently in Australia there are only a few degrees to go for to make more money than a miner so the guy we were hanging out with opted not to go to college to mine. Some of the most interesting conversations were had that night and the environment was incredible everyone wanted to talk to everyone else. Incredible night. When finding our way home we ran into an Italian girl who works in London and caught a cab back to our hostel and her to her abode. A fitting start to our time in London.
