Its 12 in the morning and we have arrived at Sao Paolo Brazil! We have to wait 12 hours at the airport for our connecting flight to Riô yippee, but that should give us some time to learn Portuguese, well some of it.
We had a massive day in london looking at the musems yesterday (we spent 3 hours in the war museum and 2 in the london musem) and went out with some of lukes friends the night before, we had a chat to two guys who turned out to be famous authors!

London!
Hi everyone! We made it!
Well... after a three hour delay at perth airport, 5 hours on a plane to singapore, a half an hour wait, 12 hours on a plane to London Airport, 45 min in a train and 2 min on legs we FInally arrived at the hostel in the city at 6am thismorning! It wasnt as cold as i expected (10 degrees all day i think) but it was overcast and seemed liek it was morning all day which didn't help on the jet lag.
We couldnt check into our room until 2pm so we dropped our bags off and headed into town. First of all we hit up Buckingham Palace (which has way too many statues of big breasted women topless with small boys) and then froliced via some park (WITH CHIPMUNKS EVERYWHERE! PHOTOS TO COME!) to big ben, wich was actually a pretty cool clock. We then went on the London Eye and went all the way to the top, suprisingly there was little haze and you could see really far and it was very perty. We then decided to stroll up the river, grab a coffee and go to a HUUUGE museum of modern art (tate modern?) wich was in a converted power station with a chimney a zillion metres tall. After a few hours there we went over the much acclaimed millenium bridge, via St Pauls Cathedral to some cool little pub which couldnt supply us with anything off the menu except for beer, lasagne and fish and chips and then on to trafalga square.
By this time it felt like midnight to us but it was only really 2.30 in the arvo, so we decided to go back to the hostel, check in and have a shower.
...man i'm tired.
