Day 1 of London...
I arrived at the London Heathrow airport and took the tube to Kings Cross Station (yes where platform 9 3/4 is!!). I walked 10 minutes to the hostel I was staying in, Clink 78, which is a converted old courthouse and was in a room with 11 other girls. I had no plans yet for the day so I explained to the front desk man that I would probably stop at a cafe for coffee and asked him what he would recommend I do next. He quickly came back saying no, you're in London. You don't get coffee, you stop to a pub for a beer! Well, I didn't do that quite yet but I spent the day in Camden Square which has many little shops, restaurants, and markets outside...very neat! Next I had a beer (or 2) and met a few local people who suggested I go to Primrose Hill where you can climb up and see a great view of the city...very nice! I met another man at the top who used to be in an Irish band called Mama's Boys with his 2 brothers who travelled all around the world playing. I started my journey back to the Clink and stopped for fish and chips at one of the pubs. Everything has been packed this week with the World Cup going on! I was exhausted after all of the traveling and the day I spent constantly walking everywhere so I slept well that night.
