GMT

Friday night we went partying with a couple of our flatmates and their friends at a nearby pub. Had a neat time, there was a live band and from midnight the DJ started up. I was very much the sober one...mostly from a budget conscious point of view, but also a teeny bit because of the fresh memory of last weekend's drunkeness! At about 2am 5 of us walked home and right by our tube station were about 20 police officers all with their shields...but there was nothing going on so i don't know if we just missed a gang fight or what! scarey!!!

Saturday we slept in, mooched around, cleaned up a little etc and later ventured out to the National Portrait Gallery by Trafalgar Square. We're not really art folk but we managed to last an hour, another London attraction crossed off the list!

Sunday we went to Greenwich...the home of GMT (nothing to do with PMT!) Greenwich Mean Time. Anyway it was pretty cool, got to have a look around the Royal Observatory and have our picture taken with the meridian line. It was a bit confusing though as we are currently on daylight savings but GMT doesn't switch...so the clock was wrong! or were our watches technically wrong?? i'll let u ponder that.

We looked around these amazing buildings and a church which are now a university/music school. And the best thing about the day trip was that it only cost £6...and that was for Niki's travel and a snack. We're getting good at this "travelling on a budget" thing! London is actually very good for having loads of free attractions
