Weekend in London

boinos dias,

a quick update of what i did on the weekend. friday night i went out for a few drinks with callan, natasha, james (another from contiki) and a few of their friends. nothing much to note other than we almost witnessed an all out brawl that flowed onto the streets. bummer. i did catch the wrong bus though so i did what my drunken self thought was the logical step, call for directions. so i called kirsten in australia at 130 am for directions. pretty funny actually, but also an expensive call.

sat, i met callan and a few guys from his work and watched the FA cup final. it was a ripper of a game, none of this boring 0-0 draw that i associate soccer with. 3-3 drawl that ended with a penalty shootout with harry kewel's team, liverpool, winning. there were some rather emotional people at the pub. that night went we met up with callan's bro in some nice looking suburb for dinner and a few drinks. got talking to these spanish girls who unfortunately were rather young (17, 19 & 21) but extremely gorgeous.

sunday i took myself to the imperial war museum.

its really cool. out the front are these 2 massive 15 inch guns built in ww1 and used in d-day in ww2 as well. they can shoot an 800kg shell 29km!

inside was tanks and stuff and loads of cool exhibits that kept me entertained for hours. this is a russian T-35 tank that was the best tank in ww2. egypt used this actual tank aginst the israelies (until they captured it) in 1972 and was by no means considered obsolete even then.

and thats my weekend

these contiki posts take forever to write. i might have to shorten them a bit, but i'll still post lots of pics, thats easy

cya
