Well, well, what can I say, I’m off…. I’m actually writing this on a word doc (I’ll upload later) as we are about an hour out from arriving at Heathrow and we are currently flying over Germany………… It never quite sinks into my mind exactly where I am, hurtling through the air 11576m off the ground at 835km per hour in a tin can….. okay so sightly more robust than a tin can, but you get my drift…..
Leaving was kind of surreal, didn’t at all seem like I was leaving for anything more that a moment, as if, instead of Simon picking me up for the airport, we were just going out for lunch or something….. but clearly not , because it’s now heading into the 23rd hour of travelling and have travelled, well on this 2nd leg of the journey, 10,103km with 694km to go………… that’s a mind boggling concept….
So the first steps into the unknown are coming up fast… Really have to figure out what I am going to do with myself before I get up to Edinburgh,…. Get to the hostel and then go buy myself a towel and have a shower!!!! Sounds like a good first step I think.
So, what can I say, I've been in London a fair few days now, 4 - I think and have seen a whole lot of the city ....... on foot, my feet are burning up as I write.... Went to the tower of London yesterday and heard about the executions and other "fun" stuff that has gone on in the tower over the years from a Yeoman..... But really, I am not so much going to "sights", just more wandering and wondering about the place...... Along the Thames, through gardens, past tudor and neo-gothic buildings...... just taking it all in, and the
sunshine.... and thinking about possibilities, really its
scary and liberating to think about, I could do anything here......... There are endless possibilities.... Think I am going to head off down to Canterbury and along the coast to Cornwall after my time in London is up on Sunday...... we'll see where I am lead, cause I am slowly learning to take different paths.........
