London

First of all, jet lag sucks. I didn't get a wink of sleep on the plane and even though my body thought it was 4 am when I stepped off the plane, my watch said it was 10. Even though we were exhausted, we decided to stay awake and get used to the new time zone. Thankfully, we didn't have to worry about finding a place to stay that night thanks to Matt and Bree Josefy! Their flat was nice and not too far away from the action of the city. London was amazing. The first day we were there the weather was great and we got to see Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and Buckingham Palace. The second day however, I mistakenly went out with a jacket and was without one all day as I had checked my luggage at the bus station. The weather soon got cold and wet and even though we were inside a lot of the time, I grew sick by the end of the day. Sadly, this illness was to plague me for days to come, but more on that later. We got to see the British Museum and I took lots of pictures of various monuments and such. (I will try to upload some pictures if I can in the next few days). That night I went on my own on a bus from London to Aberdeen (it was the only way to get a cheap bus ticket). So shivering from flu like chills and such, I made it alive somehow to Aberdeen. Getting off the bus, I wondered the streets, hitting up a few of the museums and even watching Pirates of the Caribbean, but mainly killing time until Marcus and Nate showed up. When they did, I was glad and so began the next part of my trip...
