Well, it is one week until I fly out. Wooh!
Here is my current itinerary for England (wooh!)-
Day 1: Thursday: Arrive at 6.20am. Find supposedly free shuttle bus to hostel. Hostel is in the delightfully named Shepherd’s Bush, apparently really close to the West End. This was one reason I chose it. The other is that it was cheap (and by cheap I mean about AU$20 the first night, AU$30 the second for a mixed dorm room. Sigh)! Wander city until I fall over from exhaustion.
Day 2: Good Friday: Wander city, hoping to find that it does not shut down over Easter.
Day 3: Saturday: Catch train to Norwich to stay with my cousin-ish, BJ and her famous football player husband. Various Norwich-y things. Free bed :)
Day 4: Easter Sunday: Various Norwich-y things. Avoid terror of nothing being open over Easter by talking to BJ. Free bed :)
Day 5: Easter Monday: Return to London via Cambridge (*swoon*). Hope it is not all closed up because of Easter weekend. Curse stupid travel plans that encompass Easter. Try to find Lisa. Expensive bed :( ... unless one of Lisa’s friends has floor space for me :)
Day 6: Tuesday: Day trip to Bath to look at Roman ruins, etc. I had originally wanted to do day trips to Cambridge, Bath and Oxford and booked a four day train pass accordingly, then realised cursed Easter interrupted any four day block. So I am choosing Bath because it is a more expensive trip than Oxford, and will feel less wasteful of my $s.
Day 7: Wednesday: Wander London with Lisa.
Day 8: Thursday: Early morning train to Brussels.
Nothing further planned. :)

Hey sounds like you got a great time coming up...and it's great to see people around excited about Easter...and for some more fun and spirit of it all do drop by my blog on Easter Greetings sometime and check out all that i've posted there!!!
ReplyDeleteAU$20 is really cheap actually, especially for Europe. Were it 20 pounds a night, that'd be another matter...
ReplyDeleteOh wait, it's US$20 for the first night.....yeah, not so cheap. Stupid London!
ReplyDeleteEr, no, stupid Naomi- it's AU, I just forgot the proper monetary prefix. I'm going to change this in my blog, so I look less stupid.
ReplyDeleteAnd hey! Comment spam! Do I have word verify on my blog yet??? I forget.
Just be careful in Shepard's Bush. I read an article recently that said that's where all the drunk Australian bogans hang out.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should start practising your New Zulland accent...
Yup, there is an Australiana pub nearby. They advertise it on the website as a selling point!?! I don't care. It's cheap. Chip as chups, ectually. Choice, eh bro?!
