Well i've done some more exploring, I've seen the tower bridge, I've seen harrods and I've been a musem nerd and seen the science musem. Harrods was just a fancier but more cramped version of Myers. The tower bridge is disappointingly painted an ugly blue colour and the science musem was mostly full of kids.
There was a few interesting things at the science musem though - a full scale replica of the crashed beagle rover, a 1979 cray super computer that upon first glace looked more like designer furniture and a prototype artifical lung.
I have more photos to post, but sadly this new internet cafe at my new bayswater hostel lacks cameralike plugability, most of the photos i've taken lately were of the passing thunderstorm anyway, despite taking many photos i managed to completley miss the specatular lightening every time.
I just had dinner in china town which was also a little disappointing everything there was expensive, nothing like the near free meals that you can get in the Melbourne equilivelent.
I worked out the secret today though of getting cheap lunches - Finding the food places where there are guys in line wearing hard hats todays lunch was a sausage and egg roll with a can of coke for a mere £2. I wouldn't say it was the best lunch i've had, and certainly far from the healthiest, but at £2 it hardly seems relevent.
While it seems I have a lot to whinge about, I'm still having a great time. I'm feeling more settled into the travel lifestyle and starting to think ahead to what i'm going to do with my remaining time.

Hi Tom Shame about the kids at the science museum. I agree about the Cray and I really enjoyed most of the displays. Sounds like the weather is similar to here - thunderstorms and rain. But it is quite cold here with snow in the south. Dad
