FINALLY HERE! :D

We arrived at Heathrow airport on time and after a LONG lineup at customs and a short interrogation from a less then cherry customs officer we made our way into the belly of the beast known as Heathrow airport. after getting a little turned around we finally found our way into the Underground station and hopped on the Picadilly line toward our final destination. With a friendly conversation with a local lady on the subway which turned quickly creepy after she offered to put us up in a hotel for free and give us her phone. we got off and found our way to the flat. We decided to take a short nap (HAHA) which turned into a 4 hour sleep. once we woke up we went and explored the local shops for about an hour and bought some small groceries and a Pizza for dinner.

Tomorrow we plan to explore the area more throughly with our cameras and make our way through Kensington Gardens and over to Abby Road so I can get my Beatles NERD on.

Everyone has been SUPER friendly so far and the pizza place we found is quite tasty.

On a financial note I've found that although the exchange rate sucks the price of things is comparable. Example I got a bottle of coke for 1.50 pounds which works out to just about $2 Canadian. NOT BAD :D


Here is a little video for everyone to see our new place :D
