9 Days later...

Well it's been a very eventful last nine days what can I say. I've moved more in the last 2 weeks than I've done in years (and if any of you know me you'd know We used to move like every 6 months) :-). well I am offically in Wales now and I am loving it here. It is so beautiful and right on the coast of the Atlantic. Who could ask for anything better? So where did I leave off? Oh yes. I was on my way to Camden Town. So I finally did go with my friend that Saturday. It was an interesting and crazy place. I've never seen anything quite like it. Teh best way to desribe it would be a human zoo. The people traffic was maddening at times with all these people just brushing up against you. It's not that you can avoid it really and that's why it's so maddening. It is totally beyond your control. As you can tell I'm not much of a writer I just jump topics and what not mid sentence and the like. Anyways carrying on. I didn't buy much in Camden just a sweater as I have been freezing my butt off since the day I arrived here. Ate some really gross food and then came back to Egham. The next few days after that I didn't really do a whole lot just hung around waiting to get off to Wales to see another friend of mine. So I managed to snag a free ride to Wales from these peopel who were going on a camping trip but it was quite funny how when we got here they jsut dropped me in the middle of Swansea and I had no idea where I was or how I was to get to where I was going. Bit of an adventure that. So I mozy on over to this hotel that's just on the corner and ask for help. They called me a taxi and I ended up waiting an hour. Finally I tell the taxi where I want to go and she takes me the complete wrong way to the wrong location. I mean who knew there would two places called the exact same thing? So finally she took me to where I was going and it cost me a tenner in the end. Far more than it should have. This is the best part though I get all checked in to my hotel and my window looks right over the Atlantic ocean. I was so glad to be there and it was a very clean and hospitable hotel, the nicest people i've met in a while. I just spent the first night walking up the shore and looking in all the local shops and then ate at a really nice restaurant (also on the ocean front). So the next day my friend picks me up after an eventful day of shopping and we go for a good old curry. It was the best curry I've ever had in my life at a place called Surma. so much food and all so so good. Then we went to see Pirates 3. I loved it. thought it was better than 2. The next day we went up and down the coast looking at all the beaches there are in the area. again so beautiful. Then we went to the Swansea airport to watch some K-car racing which was fun. Then we went to the horse race and I placed my first ever bet on a horse called Poppets Sweetlove. I wanted to place to win but my friend assured me this horse would never win because the odds were 12/1. I did it anyways and my horse won 1st place. I only placed a small bet but I still won £17. After that we went for Joe's icecream where they make it themselves fresh every 25 minutes. mmmmmm. After that we went to Parriswood Archery. We did Archery, Talons & Tea for a Tenner. It was brilliant mates. You get to learn and play a few rounds of archery, then you go upstairs and have tea and cakes and all other things nice, and finally you get to play with the hawks and owls. They were supposed to fly but the weather was too bad so instead we just held them on our arms. It was brill. In the evening after that we went for chinese food and it was like all you can eat but not buffet style. They make it fresh as you order so just order off the menu each course. It was crazy. We were in there like 2 and a half hours just eating all these different courses. so that brings me up to today. Haven't done a whole lot yet. I'm hoping to write my events a little more frequently so that I don't have to play catch up but I haven't had a lot of internet access and need to find a calling card store. Cheers!
