Sept 22, UK Visa passes. $1200 in my account, I think its enough to travel but London is soo expensive. Thats just for the tickets. Once in London, that money is gone. It doesn't matter to me as I really want to visit anyway. 

Sept 27, Arrive in Heathrow airport in the morning. No ride, no phone, little money, no house to stay in, what do you do? Homeless in London. What do you do? 3 of us stuck in airport, sharing our money, its still only $800. That has to last all of us 1 week. 

Later that day, we manage to get a phone, call up a friend, and meet him. We store our luggage, get a place to stay, and get much needed rest at my friend Lindas' house. 

Sept 28, our exploration of Lonon can begin. Time to be tourists. Me, Brendan and Nui go out in the town and start to walk and take a hundred photos. We start at St. James park, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, London Eye, then a drink & good dinner in China town. It was a good day although we don't know where we're going to stay tomorrow. 

Sept 29,  We start our day in Hyde park then Science museum, Harrod department store, then back to Hyde park again for a quick lunch. That night we visited the London bridge. Then we needed to find a cheap hotel for the night. After a while we found one, 32# per night. Room is tiny tiny. Shared toilet with our floor. They did offer a continental breakfast which was good. 

Sept 30, Notting Hill and shopping start out our day. We are so so tired from walking, but continue on. Eventually we end up in China town to do some quick food shopping before going home for the night. Were back in Linda's house again. 

Oct 1, Woke up early that day to eat a full breakfast and were ready to go out but don't know where to go. Looking for some museum or park thats free to enter. We start with Regent park, then war museum and finally the history museum. Afterwards we go to bus station to sit and relax. We got lucky and found a bus to take us to Chelsea football club. We took plenty of pictures, me with Michael Ballack, Frank Lampart, Joe Cole & Didier Drogba.

Oct 2, Backpack, ready to go home. Packing and bus to Heathrow. Get there at the last minute to check in. Running to get to gate with luggage, so tiring. We got it in the end. Back to US, goodbye London, goodbye vacation.
