The puffin is in the cliff nest.

I have just published my Paris and London blog coz we haven't really had much computer access lately- by choice really coz we've been so busy seeing everything possible in such a short time.
Rachel came and got us from the Eurostar and took us to her place to drop the bags off before taking us out to dinner at her local pub. We didn't make it a late one coz we were all tired and we also wanted to get up early the day after and go touristing. The 2 days we spent walking around were filled with none stop walking, museums, tours, trains, people, things to do, things to see and everything between. We went to Tower of London to see some castle stuff then crossed tower bridge to a pub called Horniman to have some lunch before going to a floating museum from second world war and the Korean war - called the HMS Belfast. Very impressive and when we boarded one of the men working there said to us "if you get lost just find one of us uniformed guys to help you". We didn't really take him seriously ... i mean how lost can you get on a ship, right? But wouldn't you know it- it took us ages to figure out how to get of the thing once we were far far into the belly of the ship. Lots of fun and the whole thing has been set up with wax sailors doing things all around. Very educating. Then on we went to another world war 2 museum and then after that we went to an old surgery where people used to come to watch doctors cut up patients in them olden days. Rachel's tummy was turning a bit at some of the stuff we saw in there. :-/ We also stopped at the Shakespeare Globe theatre but couldn't do the tour coz there was a show going on so we moved on a few meters down the Thames and went to the Tate modern museum. That was the last stop for that day of the touristy stuff. We had some tickets to go see a show called Spamelot that night so we grabbed some Thai food before we went to see it. I swear i have never had hot Thai food like that!!!!! My mouth was on fire and i had to send the food back and beg the staff for a glass of milk.
Spamelot is faaaaantastic and i suggest to anybody who has the oppertunity to see it, to do so- it had me in tears of laughter. Just genius!
Day two was a just as busy and we left the house just before 10 which is late compared to what we were getting used to. We had bought a London pass which got us into 3 main attractions for a small price. We started out at Madame Tussauds and hung out with some famous people- then on to the London eye for a 30 minute ride with a great view and the last one was called The London Dungeon and was a place dedicated to all the horrors that happened in London during the plague, all the serial killers of London, all the torture devises that have been used and so on and so on. Lots of scary moments. After that we found a bar for me and Rachel while Matt went to Forbidden Planet to have a look at some comic books and movie thingies while Rach and I got drunker and drunker.. to the point where we were painfully slurry and found most things very funny... even if they were just faces drawn on our thumbs. ;)
This meant that I was up at 6 this morning getting some panodol and water to ease my sore head before dragging all the suitcases and bags to the train for Stanstead airport. The Flight to Iceland was easy and Mum and Barry were waiting for us on the other side of the sliding door when we got there with big smiles for us. We waited around for my brother to arrive from his flight and then we were off on a mission to find a hot dog... I'm not just talking about any old hot dog here.. i'm talking about the ICELANDIC PULSA the one and only- I have been craving it for aaaages now- 2 years in fact.. or since i was here last time. :)
Matt and i are settled well in now and are having a relaxing time at home tonight for the first time in a week.
Tomorrow we plan on going to the Blue Lagoon! ;)
Later.
