Hello from London

Hi family. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDDY!!!! found some Internet, but I'll be very quick. Our flight was good, felt very short. Our plane circled the sky twice for about 30 mins so I got very antsy towards the end. We had hired a mini cab taxi to pick us up and that was so much better than transferring thru two tube stations and a rail station, a lot less hassle and not stressful. When we arrived at my friend's Alex's house we sat and chatted for a little. It before going into the city. Farhan and I walked around. There were soooo many ppl everywhere. We walked along the thames, Piccadilly circus and covent gardens. Then we met up w/ Alex and Clare for dinner in the city. We had mussels and fries at a belgium place, but it wasn't very good, lacked taste and flavor, not enough seasoning. We didn't take any naps, but I wasn't tired at all. We did stop a few times that day to get some water and coffee. I think I had been awake for over 24 hrs by the time it was nightfall, I wasn't tired, but I slept well. Today we went to the city of Oxford. The famous university. It's made up of a bunch of different colleges based on subject, al the buildings are very gold looking, it must feel very cool to go to school there. We walked around the old part of the city, it rained on and off and so we would stop inside stores of coffee shops to wait for it to stop. We took a coach bus to Oxford that took about 100 minutes. It took us back to Victoria tube station in city London and then it took a other hr from Victoria tube station to get back to surbiton, where we're staying. Tomorrow, farhan and I will go back into city centre and walk around, visit some shops, and then go back to surbiton to meet Alex and Clare for dinner. We have to get up very early Monday morning to leave surbiton to get to st pancreas station to catch the euro rail train to Paris. It's a bank holiday on Monday so I hope it's not very busy. I'll be leaving some things at Alex's so my case is lighter.... Ok I go now. I love you all!!!!! Xoxox Helen
