London

London was fun. We had really nice weather so pretty much just walked everywhere, and even when we used the Tube we (stupidly) took the zillions of stairs at Russell Square rather than taking a lift. The British Museum was definitely a highlight - I could spend days in there because there is so much to see. Although the fact Britain has basically plundered the world of all its priceless artifacts and put them in a museum is pretty sad. There is  a sense that maybe all this stuff should be in museums in the countries that made them. Camden was also really cool, we went on a Sunday so it was really busy but the atmosphere was great. I could have eaten so much that day - the food stalls there are amazing. I tried this African curry which was rather delicious and we bought some crazy African dudes CD. It was just a copied CD with a rubbish black and white cover but it cost us £10! The guy who sold it us was too nice and happy  to turn down. Ooh - and Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club was pretty cool. There was a bottle of champagne on the menu for £3500! I had to look twice I didnt believe anyone would pay that much for a drink! I made a list of free things to do in London but I think I only managed to do like 4 of them....
