Friday Night I made my way into London to see a small band play in an even smaller venue. 2 songs and that was all, they were a friend of mine's band, and the experience was like being in the movie Yes Man when Jim Carry first finds Zooey DeChanel's band playing to a crowd of 8 people. After, we took the underground to Lecster Square which is a smaller version of Broadway. Walking around, we finally found the Thames River, and standing on the bridge I was confronted by a pickpocket. I caught him and after a lengthy apology from him I finally convinced him to leave. Despite this experience, the Thames was the most incredible thing to date. We all got a glass of wine and stood on the opposite bank, under the Millennium Eye, looking out towards Big Ben and company. Jazz music from a lone saxophonists seemed to be carried on the light breeze into our heads. Unfortunately I didn't have a camera to show everyone, but I will be going back soon!
The next morning: 9:00
Making our way on the bus route to Canterbury and then on to Dover we stopped at a travel station to grab some snacks. It is here that I found the closest thing the UK has to Chocolate milk, milk shaken with chocolate, which is horrible but I made the best of it.
Canterbury Cathedral was amazing, the silence of such a large place is overwhelming. I have so much to write and not much time now, so I'll let a few pictures explain. They are from Canterbury and then Dover.
