Long day

Today is the day after New Year's Eve (profound I know). Tal and I did get to see the London Eye and the fireworks show, but it took us forever to get there and then it was a mad house afterward. They shut the tube down right after midnight becuase of all the people, which mean't that we were stuck downtown untill it reopened. I don't think I need to say how cold it is at night in England or how many drunk people there are on New Year's Eve. Anyway, didn't get back to the hostel till late and then an early morning with have to check out today. Everything in England kind of goes to a stand still on New Year's day so the bus we wanted to take to Windsor was on a Sunday schedule, which makes it stop infrequently (I know stop complainging blah blah blah). We got to Windsor around 12:30 and did the tour. Very cool castle and lots of history. Got back to London and the stop we needed to get off at was skiped bcuase of the afore mentioned Sunday service, which put us way out from out hostel. Then the tube station closest to this stop was not running trains in the direction of our hostel (when it rains it pours). Finally got out stuff, got to the train station, hoped the train and are now in Salisbury (close to Stonehendge). Tired now, going to bed, hopefully tomorrow is a little more error free (I blame the new found problems on Tal).

Picture count: 330 (slow day becuase of the mentioned travel delays)
