Journal Entry 4

Today we had a guided tour of the Tower of London. It was cool and our tour guide, Doug, was funny and I loved his accent. While at the Tower, it started raining heavily so we had the choice to go on the Jack the Ripper walking tour with Doug or go do our own thing. But me, Jill, Natal and Jess (like many others) decided it wouldn't be that fun to do the walking tour in the rain so we went to Covent Garden so Jill could return a pair of shoes to Zara and a body suit to that other store (because she grabbed the wrong size for both those items!). At Zara, I bought a funky tank top. We then went to the National Portrait Gallery which was really cool. After a while we got tired and were sitting near the "Virtual Gallery" in these funky chairs, just talking. It was a lot of fun. We made our way to Bond Street on the Tube to get to the restaurant. We met up with Mica and Colin after Jess picked up a sub from Subway. We went to the restaurant (Bistro One) where we had bangers and mash. After supper we had more free time so we booked it to the Hard Rock Cafe. Natal got to the hold the guitar again as we all did. It was really cool. We all got our pictures taken, sitting on Hendrix's couch, holding his guitar. The guide of the vault tour definately took a liking to Natal and was constantly talking to her. I got to wear Bob Dylan's hat and hold Pete Townsend's guitar. I also briefly held Kurt Cobain's guitar and sunglasses. Then me, Jill and Diab headed back to the hotel where we then hung out in our hotel rooms for a while. Then Natal and Jess came back. I then went down to Nick, Joel and Colin's room for a few minutes with Nagle (Jess),Laura and Diab but then went back up to my room. There was a bit of drama with some people about silly things which cause everyone to leave our room (except me, Jill and Natal cause it was our room). Then Nick, Nagle, Colin and Joel came back and we talked about stuff and watched TV with me and Natal occaisionally hanging out the windows shouting and cat-calling down to random guys that were walking on the street. At 11pm, everyone had to be in their own rooms so Nagle and the guys had to leave. Me, Jill and Natal were still hanging out our windows, mind you and then it came to our attention that a couple windows over from us (in our hotel) there were some guys hanging out their windows. We think they were Italian. Anyway, we waved at them and stuff and Natal flashed them (not entirely since she had her bra on). Later on they called our room! Natal answered and they asked "Are you 30?", totally appalled, Natal said "No!!" and they asked "Are you sure?" to which Natal was like "Positive." and then she hung up. They called back again but we hung up again. It was quite funny. But we were still silly and paranoid enough to put a chair against our bedroom door...for the "in case".
