Back where I started.

Give or take 20,000km. I'm back at Hammersmith at least - by chance the same room and bed as i spent my first night in the UK, sitting here now in the same Internet cafe as i posted my first in the UK post.

I feel like the last week has been all retracing steps as we came back down the UK via various places we'd already been and staying a couple of nights more in Cambridge.

I managed to get a little more sightseeing in today - I finally got to the Imperial War museum the last thing I really wanted to tick off London. It was nice to cover the first world war in more detail as nothing else had really

Of course despite being back in the same place, everything is different, for a start everything I see here is surreal, I know I've been here before, but its all been so fast it's kind of turned into a blur and its more a sense of deja vu than an actual remembering. The number of parks, boats, museums, art, tanks, planes and pubs I've seen in the last month and a half has been immense, the amount of sleep i've gotten less than immense. I have to concentrate to remember the actual location and happening, and all the touring i find it easy to skip a city when reciting them.

The other difference is explained below.

I haven't shaved since the wedding, I haven't decided how long to keep it up, but at this point shaving seems like a lot of effort.

In other news, Craig imforms me that he's managed to sell the goat - less than a day after we put it up and only £30 less than we paid for it. The goat certainly served us well, without offering any major dramas. The only main expense was the insurance for it - at £130 for a month (and this policy didn't actually cover me, hence why i didn't do much driving).

And talking about retracing steps, now i'll have to go half way back to cambridge and pay twice as much to do so to get to Stansted.
