Vacation Part 2

It's now nearly 1am London time yet I'm wide awake. It could be because I slept most of the day away.

I think I've decided that Air Canada is NOT the way to fly long distances. My flight from Edmonton to Montreal was 4.5 hours yet they didn't serve any food...not even snacks like peanuts!!! Crazy!! I did get a meal (not too bad) on the 8 hour flight from Montreal to Heathrow, but the breakfast was a muffin!! Seriously folks! If you want to keep people flying with you, try giving them some food. Kind of crazy! Oh, also, the seats don't really recline! I enjoyed the choice of movies, but that was the best part of the flight.

My flight was also late and once discovering that my cell doesn't work here (I wasn't sure), I found my taxi to take me to my cousin's. Alas I arrived shortly after 10am London time which was 3am Yellowknife time. I was a wee bit tired. My cousin showed me around her small apartment (it's small, but nice) and I walked with her part way to the tube station as she had to head off to work. She lives a few blocks from Portobello Road Street Market. I took a brief walk along the market and found a Starbucks and a Subway should the need arise. I'll explore a little more tomorrow morning.

That was about it for my day as I headed off to bed. I thought about getting up, but figure I'll still be able to sleep at some point in the middle of the night. I just finished eating some KD (I brought it for my cousin) as she doesn't have ANY food in her place. I'll spend the remainder of my meals out I'm sure unless I pick up some bread for toast in the mornings.

Tomorrow I head to the V Festival with friends of my cousin. Should be fun :)
