So here is the story thus far:
I got on my flight to Iceland, surprised to see that they had in flight movies in the headrests of every seat. So that was a plus. The sunset from up in the jet stream was stunning, but unfortunately I couldn't get to my camera as the two people next to me were sleeping. Anyway, I watched two films and slept for about an hour before arriving in Iceland. It was interesting because they had a liquor store right in the airport. I went through more security checks, and then I got on my second flight to London. A girl stole my window seat, and since it was only a 3 hour journey, I decided to let her stay there.
When I got to London, I waited for an hour to get through the border patrol. Then, I finally stepped through the terminal into the receiving area. (The same one that you see at the end of Love Actually) There was Gaz. He received me, and we realized that the people on Icelandiar had broken the wheel off of my suitcase. Not only that, but a bottle broke open in the same case.
Anyway. Gaz took me to see his town, Buckingham.
Driving on the other side of the road is a bit insane, and it takes a bit of getting used to when the passenger side is on the left. We went to a town called Milton Keynes, which was actually modeled after American layouts of cities. There was stoplights and sprawling shopping centers. It is akin to Bloomington or Burnsville.
Also, roundabout are all around. It makes sense, because then you don't have to stop as we do for our stop signs.
Today, we traveled to back to Milton Keynes, looking to get a few items. I got a razor and shampoo. I also got some film for my camera. We ate food at a small place back in Buckingham and had a Panini, but they use french baguettes for bread. It was very good.
Plan is to have genuine fish and chips and my first local legal drink tonight.
Later,
