           Thursday 22nd of July AMAZING DAY IN LONDON
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yesterday, I was too tired in order to prepare my travel that I was gone to the bed without know when and where I have to go in London. But honestly, I have made a favour to Gemma & Nicky BUT it was harsher that I have planned...Not only, It was a crazy day but I was very tired too.

Finally, I have woken by Francois at 10 who wants to check if I have his trouser...Of course, because K&K don't succeed to make the difference between his clothes and mine. So few minutes later, I'm going to talk with Keith and plan my transport and accomodation in London.


Fortunately, Keith has good advices ...we succeed to find a train at 12:13 without changes. It's great.

Then we look after youth hostel...there are few but it's difficult to find the best price & best quality...I find a website which compares them and where we can check the availiability...Unlucky, for the best there isn't bed.

However, there is also CLINK HOSTEL where is settled in 78 King's Cross Road and where there is again bed. I save the address in my GPS which doesn't succeed to find anymore signal. I take advantage by saving also consulat's address 21 Kensinghton road but I prefere seeing once with google map version satelite...it's very easier after!

Good news, I have almost all planned: Keith advices me to ask a ticket with access to underground but he doesn't know what zone is enough and how many is it cost...It's why I have to arrive in advance in the Cosham's station. I ask Keith a favour about my interview for the national insurance number because I haven't yet my ID but I have received my licence driver and it's considered like a ID so...maybe I don't need to cancel my interview the 24th. I hurry to take a shower ...I have find a new technic...I take a shower in the bath...but given that it's very wet all bathroom if I'm «got up»...I make like I take a bath. It's nice because there is a good pressure and temparature could be set easyly! In 5minutes, I have done. I prepare my sport bag in 5minutes I take with me my computer, camera, GPS, book, important papers, sheet for shower, ...

 

I'm ready nearly at 11:45, I say byebye to Keith and ask him his camera because I don't find my SD card and I haven't the times to search. He accepts but asks me not to delete his pictures ...of course! I hurry to walk until Cosham's station even in the end I have run because I amn't sure to have the same time that the station. Finally, I arrive at 12:08, it isn't busy in the till. I ask for a ticket return Cosham London with a pass to underground. I have paid 38£, basicly one return for London cost between 25 and 30£. It's strange english customs are always the contrary and here trains rides in the same sense. I have 1:45 hour of travel...so I have listenning music whilst writing my last days...yeah I work a lot and I don't take anymore the bus so I haven't the times to write...
