I'm somehow sunburnt. And it's been raining

I dunno how that happened. And its only on little strips on my arm. Weird.

Anyway, I went out to Canterbury and Dover the other day. Not a bad little daytrip. It only seemed to be sunny when I was on the train. When I actually got out to see the cathedral it was starting to rain. Same thing happened when I went to Dover. It was all overcast so I didn't even bother going to the cliffs. That, and they're an effing 40min walk from the train station. And I ran out of time because I went to the Dover castle. I went on this guided walking tour through their underground war tunnels, and there were 2 other people with me. Most of the time I spent wandering around the castle grounds I was alone. It was weird.

Yesterday I thought about going on another daytrip, but it was somewhat nice out so I walked around Hyde, St James and Green Park, and went to the British Museum. I got to finally see the pieces from the Acropolis in Athens that Lord Elgin stole and brought back with him to London. Bastard.

I also saw TWO rat tails, and a Crumpler store. That night the hostel had an awesome pub crawl. Met an Aussie who's going to Glastonbury as well, a Kiwi and a girl from London, Ontario.

Today I'm in Cardiff and I'll be here for the next few days. This is the weirdest keyboard I've typed on, too. The keys are tiny and there are huge gaps in between them.

Damn Lord Elgin. It's like that all over Europe. "This is at the British Museum." And, then we got lost, when we got there. Failface!

Too bad it rained in Dover. The weather's gorgeous here, right now!
