>Nice pictures. Thanks. These pics are just from Day 1. I've got a long way to go before I get to Day 4!
>it was where I discovered I'd lost my Tube pass (expensive thing, being valid for the entire day) and the fare machines had long queues. Damn, that does suck. There is actually a cheaper way to travel in London, even if you don't live here. There's a thing called the Oyster card which you might've seen being used in the stations (and buses, if you traveled on any) which you can swipe away credit from. It cuts costs quite significantly.
>That's unlikely ever to happen in DC. That's the beauty of London. It's a political, economic and cultural metropolis all rolled into one. I've never really gotten into art but I've heard lots of good things about Dali, particularly from you. I wonder if they have tour guides who can explain the art when you check these places out. I'd really like to get into art and poetry while I'm in England. The friend who visited London wanted to see the Tate Modern and we only knew about the Dali exhibition because of an ad we saw on a bus. But unfortunately we ran out of time. He was here for only 3 days.
>planning permission for the Gherkin was only received after... Yeh, I read that about that while making this post. I also remember you illustrating how difficult it was to try and get a photograph of the full building. I've since discovered that when you take the train out of Liverpool Street, you get a full view. I've yet to take a photo to prove it, but eventually I shall.
But democracy in general could probably be said to have started in Athens. Thanks for pointing out the error. I've made the necessary corrections.
