we made it!

Yay! I'm in London! Just a quick update tonight since we're on limited time and I wasn't organized enough to write up a post of LJ before we got to the internet cafe (Satrbucks - yuck!). The flight was ok and yet also hellish, the cab ride from Heathrow was 70 pounds, and the flat is the tiniest place I've ever stayed outside of a camping trip. But we're here and people have those lovely accents and there is tea EVERYWHERE and yay! We went to the British Museum yesterday, which was great. We walked - things aren't as far as I'd thought they would be.

The downsides are the blisters from new shoes, the fact that we both have head-colds, and that neither of us are adjusting well to the time change.

On the other hand, I woke up at 5 AM and wrote the kinky ficlet I owe [livejournal.com profile] mercyisme from start to finish.

Today was a dead-day, as our bodies demanded rest in order to get over the cold. Fruit is abundant, but I could use some veggies. I guess we'll go to the market (Sainbury's - ? Something like that) *again* - I think we've gone 4 times in 2 days.

Tomorrow we're going to the Tate and making some concrete plans for day-trips and theater. Although today was a bit of a waste, it also feels like a *vacation* rather than a whirlwind 100 miles a minute tour, and that's definitely a good thing.

Will be updating every few days, probably, but also probably not having time to answer emails of any length.

Anyone interested in betaing a kinky Eric/Orlando/Karl threesome? ;)

*smooch* Miss you all!

w00t!! You're THERE!

I'm alternately thrilled for you and insanely jealous. *g*

Have a blast, sweetie; you'll both feel better soon, and I'll be following your adventures eagerly. :) Yay!
