I can't
believe that I'm finally in London! After catching the train from the airport
and checking into my hotel I decided it was time to explore a bit. Even though
I was exhausted I knew the best thing to help my jet lag was to stay up as late
as possible so my aim was to at least stay up until 8pm London time (5am
Melbourne time). This meant that I had 5 hours in which I needed to do things
so as I wouldn't fall asleep.
I
started with a walk to The Brunswick shopping ball just around the corner where
my first priority was to get water as I was really dehydrated from the flight.
I went to Waitrose which I'm guessing is a
similar idea to our Woolies. It was quite interesting to have a look at the
different brands around, seeing both familiar brands that we have back home as
well as some new ones. I was very happy to see Cadbury and I also saw Galaxy
(this is one that my UK friends back home keep on telling me about so it is on
my list to try).
