Great first day and night

I couldn’t have asked for a better first day on my trip. Met only great people.

First hostel experience was GREAT! I can only hope the next series of stays can compare.

Hung out with my 2 roomies from Germany Jan and Reiner. Great guys. We sorta did a mini London tour around midnight. My other roomie was from Argentina, but we didn’t get a chance to hang.

Can anyone tell me why the London pubs close at 11p?  CRAZY!! Turned down many offers to go clubbing. I don’t think any of us would have gotten up if we had gone. Check out was at 10. Ended up finding one store near by us. Bought a few beers and hung out in front of the Hostel and chatted to the weee hours.

Look for a video of my 2 new friends and myself at some point.

Jan, pronounced (John) has offered to hook me up with a friend of his for my Berlin stay. We’ll see how that goes. :)

Off to Paris-Italy train.

All recharged and ready to see where this day takes me.
