It's hard to keep track. We've been in London for about 10.5 hours but today feels like a long yesterday and I think we may have ended up 8 hours in the future. Time travel is exhausting. But we made it with basically no problems! In fact, we got to the airport 3 hours earlier than needed and through security in 20 minutes!
We are staying at a hostel in Victoria on a fairly quiet street where all the buildings look the same. It's got everything we need, is central to most of the sites, and our roommates seem nice. They even provide internet access and computers so I can write this for a small fee.
After such a long trip and little sleep, we still managed a bit of site seeing. We took the Tube to Picadilly Circus to visit the tourist office in search of a calling card and were directed elsewhere about 10-15 minutes away. We walked for about 30 minutes and couldn't find the said place, but it worked out because we ended up on Oxford and around Soho. Next, we went to Trafalgar Square, which I think impressed Andrei the most. It was pretty impressive-especially the giant lions, although we missed out on climbing them. We did take some cheesy timed pictures with them in the background though.
We had to call it a night after that, but we got to see a lot of London already, and tomorrow will be a full day.
