The pub we stayed in in Salisbury. 15th Century, with crooked floors and low doorways.
Dickens World in Chatham, photo thrown in for good measure.
Me at Stonehenge.

Today I had a fun day. I was a volunteer steward with an organisation called Thames21. Each year, for one weekend only, they, along with COLAS (the City of London Archaeological Society) and the Tower of London, open up the beach in front of the Tower to the public. The beach is not normally open to anyone, so it's a great opportunity. The main activity on this beach is not sunbathing. It is mudlarking. I have mentioned mudlarking before I'm sure.
I wore a fluorescent vest, so I was visible to everyone. There were 10 stewards or so I think. We were there to primarily answer questions and point out where people could go for more information. there was also plenty of time for me to wander about, talk to people, as well as find a few things as well.
Last night Scott and I met two of my Hungarian cousins, Eszter and Zsuzsi at Victoria Station. They are here for three weeks, and will spend 10 days doing work experience at my museum. Zsuzsi's suitcase was picked up by someone else. Hopefully by early next week we will be able to get hers back. I am meeting the girls tomorrow for a spot of shopping (mainly for clothes for Zsuzsi), then mudlarking again (well again for me anyway!) and I will show them the museum. The girls will need to get there by themselves on Monday morning, so we will do a trial run so they are familiar with the route.
Bought Harry Potter very early this morning. It was released at midnight, I had my copy by 1am.

Hey Alex!
I stumbled upon your blog whilst googling and I must say it's great!
I'm planning to do the work/travel thingy in Europe next year and it's great to get a feel on what you went through leading up to your adventure!
I didn't know that you could do Contiki whilst in London! sad ain't I?...hehe
Anyways, enjoy the rest of your trip!
Cheers
