Leaving Struggle Town...

Just a quick post today... but I though't I would let you all know the mis-adventures that have occured over the last few days. Where too begin... Here goes; it all started virtually the day that I arrived here. Some would say that my 1st week's worth of accomodation could be classed as illegal; actually squatting might be the correct term. We finally left the pub on Tuesday only to end up staying with a friend of a friend. How can I describe this place... the term 'crack-den' comes to mind. The three of us shared a single room; and I used the pillows off a couch to create a poor attempt of a mattress. It was about -2 outside and the cenral heating wasn't exactly working. Tami joined me on the floor as the single bed was far to cramped to 2 people. We then proceeded to use eachother as a blankets... Around 5am we finally had enough and decided to risk catching crabs, HIV and an asortment of other STDs and deadly things too use the blanket. Needless to say we were all up and out of there as soon as humanly possible.

The following night (Wednesday) was spent in a hotel in Wimblebon.. this place was Shangri-La compared to the previous night. We all actually had a bed to ourselves. Who am I to complain though... this is what the Aussie in London experience is all about. I am ashamed that I didn't take any photographic proof the the den, but I do have a photo of the struggle Tam and myself had leaving Wimbledon with everthing we owned on our backs in 0 degrees.

P.s they were taken off my phone to it isn't the best quality around. As I have also just uploaded my pics of my phone so I thought I would also post the pic of my very first pint in the UK
