Wednesday 01st November: London Trip
Kristy and I travelled to London from Portsmouth by National Express, which cost us, the bargain price of £5 return (can't complain). It was a good journey and we arrived on time, but we were both hungry so we headed to Weatherspoons in Victoria Station and had a very nice lunch.
After lunch we started walking to the hotel via the tourist attractions. We saw Buckingham Palace (The Queen was at home but didn’t offer us a cup of tea, how disappointing), The Mall, Trafalgar Square, Big Ben and Covent Garden. We arrived at our hotel (Travellodge Covent Garden) and went to our room it was very nice. We dropped our bags off and headed out again to explore London.
Firstly we found the tube station where we were going to meet Chris later that evening and then we went to Covent Gardens shopping. The first stop of course was the Disney Store, which was very impressive and I could’ve spent a fortune in there, however I managed not to spend a penny (which is very good for me). Then we made our way to Leicester Square, where we found a premier about to take place for Jack Black’s New Film Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny with Kyle Gass. We saw them arrive and Kirsty and I got Jack’s Autograph and I had my picture taken with him. We also saw Charlie from Busted, The Blue Peter Gang, Gail Porter, Ellen from Casualty and a few more famous people but I don’t know their names (Silly me).
After the Premier we made are way back towards the hotel to meet Chris at the tube station, we then put his bags in the room and went out to dinner at TGIs in Covent Garden (Look familiar to anyone, hehe). I had a very good, but tiring day and it was great to meet up with Chris.
