Hey remember me??

So I doubt anyone even checks this blog anymore because its been 3 weeks since my last post. It's gotten to the point where i can't possibly recall all the things I've done anymore so I'll attempt to write a summary. 

So currently I'm in Birmingham staying with my mate Dave. It's actually really nice to just relax, have a bedroom that I'm not sharing with 8 other strangers, cooking our own dinners, (made Thai green curry!) and saving a few pounds. London was fantastic, Except very expensive. The weather was typical, half of our time there was sunny the other overcast and rainy. I invested in an brolly. Loved all the theatre stuff, went to see Avenue Q, which was hilarious, Romeo and Juliet as well as As you like it in Shakespeare's globe theatre, which was fantastic. We stood right against the stage so we could actually reach out and touch the actors, (i resisted) and Orlando, the main character was quite dreamy.  I really enjoyed that day as I had spent the morning with a friend, Savio, at the Natural history museum and then the Tate modern. So it was a very cultural day. Also spent a day at the Tower of London, saw all of King Henry XIII's armour walked over the Millennium bridge several times, went into St Paul's Cathedral, saw The Gherkin (fancy building looks like a bullet, or perhaps a gherkin). Also went to the original Hard Rock Cafe on our final evening with my Contiki mates. Spent hours on the London underground, rode a double decker bus and one of there silly black taxi's with excess leg room. Saw a play called The Cherry Orchard, it was crap, but starred Ethan Hawke. Almost saw Jude Law playing Hamlet.. may still do that. Once all my Contiki friends had flown home was a bit more lonely so was glad to head to Birmingham with Dave.

As for my Contiki, it was fantastic, best tour i've ever done, met so many fantastic people, saw so many famous sites and had some incredible experiences. Lets see I:
