24:00-Room

What a day. London Eye was sweet, brought back some memories of the last time. Always has to be one person afraid of heights...Libby this time. After that, we went to Westminster Abbey. Lots of walking, but it was all really sweet. Henry was our tour guide today. We walked all over, looked at all the memorials. Each idiom has a corner-poets, musicians, radicals...the plumber had one, haha. We all got tired toward the end. We saw where they do coronations and stuff, heard some good stories. Rode the bus back to Hostel and chilled for a little bit. Wrote about that earlier, though. Went to the subway station down Holland Walk. Nice path, forest on one side, brick wall on the other. Again, I hate traveling with large groups of people. Anyway, Neil, Patrick, Drew, and I (hereby known as the Green Machine) and Big Neil went to a cool Chinese fusion place. Waitress didn't know English, so instead of 5 separate checks, we got 5 huge bowls of fried rice. Along with that, we had egg rolls, pork dumplings, and I had Pepsi and sweet and sour pork-pork onions, pineapple, green peppers. It was good. Big neil had calamari, Drew had honey roasted pork, Patrick had "Meat Plate" (pork & duck), and Neil S had something with a weird, long, chinese name. Says it's pretty much like Drew's, but with noodles. After that, we went to see Spamalot. It was funny, but would have been better if I hadn't seen the movie like 50 times before and I didn't see all the jokes coming. £3 ice cream (caramel) at intermission. We were way high up, and there were little binoculars for hire for 50p. Helped a little, but not tons. The sign said 1x50p, so PJ put in £1.50, and jammed the machine. Walk back was pretty uneventful, took a shower, and now going to bed. Bath and Avebury tomorrow.
