Well I'm wiriting this on Tuesday, I don't know when I'll be able to post this, there is no free wifi in London.
Monday was our last day in Iceland, our sleep schedules are still messed up so while Bryce decided to go to sleep at 5pm, Cam and I decided to try and stay up until our 4am busride to the airport. We eneded up going out for dinner with Brendan the Aussie, we went to the Icelandic Bar which had traditional Icelandic food. Brendan had the Reindeer Burger, Cam had briased whale and I had Goose, Puffin, and Lamb. The Puffin was pretty gross it tasted like red meat from a bird. I'm glad I tried it, but I'll never eat it again. I tried some of Cams whale, it tasted and looked like a blue rare steak. I guess Iceland and Japan are two of the only countries in the world that still participate in whaling. We headed back to the hostel for a few beers and try and get rid of the last of our Krona. Brendan is spening another eight days on the island. He rented an SUV and is going to drive around and take photos. Once he's done in Iceland he's going to be a teacher in Copenhagen. Hopefully we can visit him again on our travels. We tried to pull an all nighter but decided to go to sleep with just a few hours before our bus.
The flight to London was fine, I slept through most of it. Customs was a different story. After waiting in line for 45 minutes we told the customs officer we had no idea where we were staying or for how long. We were informed that without this info we'd be denied entry. He then asked for proof that we had enough money to stay here, which we couldn't do. So he informed us he'd let us in but we could only stay for two months. He could've totally ruined our day, it was awesome of him to let us in. We got a lady at the tourism desk to book us a place to stay, we have a private room in a shitty hotel. Which is actually cheaper per person per night than staying in a dorm hostel. The location is great though, we're only 5 minutes from Westminster Abbey and Big Ben. London is crazy, the size and density are a little much. It's so busy and the noise and traffic is intense. I do fine with crowds but here is a little much.
Frank Turner is on Friday and our friend Leandra will be here by then.
