salixbabylonSince I last posted, we went to the Victoria & Albert, Harrods, Camden markets, and thoroughly conquered the Underground and are no longer scared of it. Saturday we met up with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
soar38 and wandered around Regents Park and soaked up some sun.
Everyone says it's unusually hot -- I didn't bring any warm-weather clothes and am just baking! I also brought StupidNewShoes and my feet simply hate me. Might buy something more comfortable if I can bear it -- with the exchange rate it's an expensive option.
Yesterday we took a minibus tour to Avebury, Stonehenge, Old Sarum, and Salisbury Cathedral -- with a side of sheet, pub lunch, crop circles, and a chalk horse in the hillside. I's so beautiful, although not quite the mystical experience I'd hoped for at Stonehenge -- I was simply too tired and there were too many people and we only had 30 minutes total.
The only major whine is that while the cold itself only laster 3 days, I've only been sleeping well for about 2-3 hours a night, waking up around 2am or so. I'm an 8-hours-or-very-cranky times, so a *week* of way less was taking a severe toll. Last night I broke down and took a sleeping pill - should have done that earlier, although I'll need another one tonight. My face *hurts* and my eyes burn and the circles under my eyes are scary.
On the plus side, I'm feeling better today, and hopefully will get another good rest tonight, so I'll have plenty of energy forEwan the theater tomorrow night. soar38 will be joining us for dinner at the Ivy, and then we're ditching my husband so we can squeal in private.
Next day we go to Stratford to seeniennas_dreams, and then 3 more days in the Cheshire area with a friend -- and probably no internet again until we come back on Sunday! *sob*
People are lovely, the food is great, the weather nice (if hot), and all is going well. We've decided to slow things down and *enjoy* rather than rush about seeing things. I can't believe the first week is over already!
