The long road...

Chapter Two-
The Flight to England or GET ME OFF THIS DAMN PLANE!!

Well with the help of Simon, I managed to get a ticket for a decent price with Ryanair to London. I'm glad he was there to give me advice though, that company is ridiculous. In order to buy a ticket you first have to pay for your baggage, pay for paying with a card, pay for everything. But I expected that, what I didn't expect was having to go through the slough of advertisements just to find the "pay now" button on the bottom of the page! Then Simon reminds me that I have to check in online right away (which I don't see the point of) and go through the entire process again!! Ah well, I figured it out, got a good seat, and made it to London at Stanstead okay by around 9am. I feel a bit silly, but I spent a good chunk of that day looking for a shower! However I still got to see a fair bit. I checked out Trafalgar, Buckingham, Victoria, the Thames, what I thought was a cathedral but was actually House of Commons or something...I had a pretty nice little walk.

And here's ol Stumpy himself!

And someone who I'm not entirely proud of being distantly related to...

Ollie Ironsides Cromwell, a crazy ol fool whom the Royalists tried, hung in chains, and beheaded. All after he had been dead for two years.

Showin our colours! And the road to Buckingham.

And that was my day in London. Pretty fun actually, and it seems everytime I show up in the Capital its bleeding hot! Lucky me I guess!

After my sightseeing and a beer, I made my way back to Victoria Coach Station to take yet another bus to my final destination, Edinburgh. This bus wasn't too long, only about 9 hours...*sighs* and I opted for the cheaper bus because I figured I could sleep on it. Well, wasn't I surprised when I found this!!
