Today, we will be crossing the border to London and this will be the most troublesome part of the journey. Since it is London, we'll have to go through imigration and everything. Check passport, scanning of bags and bodies before we could board the Euro Train going into London. Had to wait a couple of hours before boarding the train. Have to carry the luggages on board and not to mention they're so damn heavy. Luckily they had a compartment specially for luggage. Me and Vincent did most of the hardwork. Help the old people lift up the luggage into the train. Sigh. Journey will take around 2 and half hours so will sleep first.
Well, me and my parents have planned not to follow the tour of London. Come on. This is my FIFTH TIME in London. Don't think there is anymore else for me to see. We only came here to visit our relatives. So we dropped of at St. Paul's Cathedral and waited for Philip to come pick us up. While waiting, went to a cafe and ate lunch there. Finally I'm in a country where I feel comfortable. No more communication barrier. No more dog and cat talk. Just english. Walked around that area after lunch as Philip haven't reached. Takes around 2 hours from Boreham Wood to London. After he picked us up, we headed straight for my aunt's house (my dad's eldest sister). Reached there and chit chatted for a bit then me and mum helped aunt to prepare dinner. And around 6, Josh, Sophie and Aunt Jane came. How long was it since the last time I met them? Josh was around 6 years and Soph was around 4 years. And I haven't met Aunt Jane and Philip for 8 years. My family is really complicating. Philip is older than me and he is Aunt Jane's husband. I don't call him uncle because we're in the same generation though he is around 25 - 30 years older than me. Therefore, I'm uncle to Josh and Sophie altought Soph is a year older than me and Josh is a year younger than me. Complicating isn't it? Ah well. Had dinner and chatted. Reminds me of the old times and it's been a really long time. Aunt Jane left with Josh and Soph around 9 and Philip fetch us back to the hotel. Dad is staying with his sister so tonight only me and mum will be staying in the hotel. Hotel is beautiful but it is again located in the outskirts. Upton Park is just a few miles from here. You know. West Ham United home ground.
Tomorrow will be the last day and will be a free day too so I'll be going to Oxford Street to do some last minute shopping.
