Took the tube to picadilly and looked at all the shops was gonig to go to the lion king but didn't want to walk back from victoria station at 10pm at night by myself. Then wondered around soho and leciester square had a look in hamleys, fortham and mason, zara, banana republic, office, plus lots of little boutiques. didn't buy anything but such a nice little area to go shopping. Got dinner from subway as most places even mcdonalds shuts at about 5 so strange but I guess every where is dark.
Still affected by jetlag and woke up at 530 am today after going to bed at 8 last night met some Australian girls Lauren and Clare also on my tour so going on walking tour today with them.

DAY 1 PART 2, day 2
Well in the afternoon I met my other room mates Flora from Brazil whose a dancer and same age as me she is also engaged! and me and her took the tube to leciester square where we went to china town to get some food and got a buffet dinner then went back to the room met marina from france whose here doing her finals exams.
Had some jetlag so was asleep at 9pm but woke up for a bit at 12 i think its because its 8am in perth but fell asleep and woke up at 6 had breakfast and then caught tube to oxford st where i hit the shops hard....went to topshop and im in love with it tried heaps of stuff on but stuck to my budget and bought a really nice musturd yellow blouse and then went to the shoe section. THEY STOCK JEFFREY CAMPBELL! IM IN LOVE! then went to selfridges which is a really nice big department store I bought some navy loose shorts they're really nice to wear with my new blouse. I then walked around for a couple of hours and got lunch at pret again. Pret is the best chain of food ever made you get all sandwhiches (miss maude style bread rolls, wraps and sandwhiches) with all gourmet fillings but you can also by soup salad sushi and fruit. it's also really cheap they should open one in perth. Then I walked from totterham to british museum where i saw some mummies and then took the tube to wellcome museum which is the health museum but it was shut so just got back to the hostel

Day One
woke up at 7:30 am then walked to petrol station as i realised i had bought the wrong sized batteries and thought i forgot deoderant haha. Then got breakfast at hotel had a yoghurt and a piece of taost went upstairs and got changed packed all my stuff and then left to take bus.
Took the express bus where I met a guy also from perth from same flight as me who was gonig on student exchange to denmark. After this i took the bus to liverpool st station and then went to the tube. half the tube line was down for maintainence so they werent sure if my stop was cancelled luckily it wasnt so took tube (which wasnt that busy ...but lots of stairs escpecially if youre carrying a suitcase) then took the bus to the clink. it was around 11am so too early to check in so went on facebook for a bit before going for a walk. followed signs and ended up london canal museum which was probably worst 3 pounds spent haha but the map gave me directions to camden markets and showed me banksy art on the river. ended up walking to camden markets looking for banksy art didnt find any but saw white swans then spent a couple of hours at the camden markets where i bought shoes from first shop i went into and saw plenty of others i liked. I then browsed for a bit saw some william and kate tshirts was considering buying for the novelty factor had a look in ALDO shoe shop, h&m and american apparel. was excited by american apparel but didnt buy anything as prices were the same as in Australia. then got lunch at i think its called pect or pent? its a sanwhich shop anyway where i got pickle and chedder sandwhich for 2 pounds and a bottle of water. by now my feet were hurting so i went to boots where literally EVERYONE was sick so i covered my mouth and nose haha and bought bandaids, then got cash out for free at barclay. then walked around a bit more and mum called me so talked to her and started to walk back into kings cross I found a short cut so cut my walk by 3/4 miles. ...according to the sign.
then got back into hostel where i checked in went on fb again and then went to the british library which was actually really interesting as I saw orginal alice in wondelrand, shakespeare, gospel of john , jane eyre and virginia wolfe and hans sloane as well as original mozart beethoven and beatles. no photos were allowed. after that i walked back to hostel where I am now and met a girl in my room whose from adelaide and went on the same tour as me, she's just finished it. I went to upload photos but realised i brought the wrong camera cord....woops oh well i'll just upload them when i get home. I'm liking travelling alone at this point all i do is walk everywhere and do whatever I want
