The Gremlin's Grotto

Hey folks,
I know this is a quick update, but I wanted to let you know what is going on. I watched teh Chelsea/Arsenal match last night at a pub... it was an amazing atmosphere!!! It was a draw, which sucked for the standings, but at least Arsenal showed they don't need Campbell or Henry to keep up with Chelsea... just imagine if they were in the lineup!!! Anyway, enough with that.

I am staying at Chris's right now, at least until Saturday, then I will spend one more night in a hostel and make my way to West Sussex to see Barry and Sandra, and figure out what the hell I am doing.

Kimberley: alrighty, italy... well, first off I really didn't like Venice. It was smelly, the canals are cool, but the novelty wears off quick, and there isn't much to do if you aren't looking for a romantic vacation. It is also quite expensive. Hmm, Padua sucked too, nothing there at all worth seeing for you. I would start in Florence, it has lots to see and it is a beautiful city overall for sure. Then, down to Rome to see all the big things... Vatican, Colisseum and such. Do the Colisseum tour with Maximus Tours... you get the Colisseum and the Forum( two tours) for something like 10 euro. Great deal and great tour guides. I wanted to go to Pompeii, but i also heard that there are alot of thieves down there and you have to be really careful ( like most of Italy I guess), and someone said Naples is really dirty. Alot of Italians said to go to the bottom of the boot too, that is it was gorgeous and alot less touristy. other than that, I can't think of anything, but if you have any specific questions, I will try to answer them :)

As for touristy things in London... I did London Dungeon which was awesome, and the Tower of London, again great! The Beefeaters are freaking cool!!! I will let you figure that out. Hmm, I saw some galleries too, but I think I already mentioned those in the last post. Anyway, off to job hunt, got papers to read and such. I miss everyone, and hopefully you all miss me too ;)

the Quiz: Kimberley is dead on, there is a gap between the train and the platform, the lady on the announcements continually reminds you to ' Mind the Gap' and it is also written on the platforms near the the train entrance. It is freaking hilarious!!! Not really sure why, but we have been laughing about it for days. Anyway folks, talk later.

So sits, in a London internet Cafe,
