Day 2 -
My Second day started with 3 hours of sleep, and a whole lot of Entourage Season 3 Californication, thank you Hank Moody... We decided to hit up the Oxford St area early as the weather was beautiful and warm while the skies were blue. It's amazing how much cheaper things are here than in Australia, I grabbed some Tees and a bag while mum and Ani hit up Wolfords for some half price lady shit.
I wish, not in many ways at all that Brisbane was somewhat the same as London. One, that people in Brisbane would appreciate the sun and our amazing weather more than we do. London-ites seem to value nice days so much more than I would have ever believed. Come on guys and gals, lets get out doors more often, our city is a beautiful place!
The wealth over here is nothing less than amazing, seeing every second car pass by with a BMW, Maserati, Bentley, Lamborghini, Aston Martin or Mercedes tag on it is promising that the economy here is not suffering too badly in Central London. Walking down Brook St Near Oxford, we found these within 20 metres of each other.
After getting smashed about on some of the busiest streets of England, Mum and I decided to kick it back in the rare gorgeous blue London skies on the London Eye. A hefty ticket price (17.50 Pound) didn't quite justify the viewing experience, but nonetheless we tried to snap as many shots up there as we could with the amount of people they squashed into the confined cabin. With 360deg. views of London and surrounding areas, it was nice to see all of London from so high up.

To finish up, Mum and I ventured into GBK and grabbed two huge fucking burgers to fill our tired as shit bellies. Shut eye kept me under for more than 13 hours, waking at 1pm ready for Day 3...
Troisième Jour -
So today was a late one, got out of the hotel room at 3pm and went straight down to meet Ani and Mum at Oxford Circus. Grabbed a quick coffee and Ani had run off to a private function so Mum and I just cruised around Oxford St once again. Gets pretty boring after the first twenty thousand time you do it, but we still managed to find a bargain. Mum got me a bag with wheels so i could store all my spare and extra clothing at Anna's while i'm away in Budapest for three months. Marks & Spencers was yet again our choice for dinner time delights, featuring were two salads and two lovely fresh sandwiches... We live the life don't we...
Now, just sitting in bed waiting for the tired eyes to kick in... If they ever do after that epic sleep last night.
Ciao,
Buona notte, sonno strettamente
(good night and sweet dreams)
Jacko
