Platform 9 and 3/4

Today was a late start again, but that's fine. I went to a Carphone Warehouse and got a Talk Mobile sim card. Yay! I have a phone and can contact people! Then I went to an Italian cafe to sit and read. I ordered Italian hot chocolate, which is more like warm pudding. Really! It was SO thick. It was definitely an experience. I don't think I'll order one again unless I can share it or at least have some milk along with it. I was pretty caffeinated after I finished it. Anyways, it was nice to just sit there and read for a while.

Then I met up with Bethany and her roommate (Aubrey) at the Leicester Square station and then Anne and Nicole at the National Gallery, but then we ended up going different ways. Bethany, Aubrey, and I went to Kings Cross and found... Platform 9 and 3/4! It was pretty exciting. We took pictures. Then we went to a pub for dinner (I can't remember the name! grrr). It was very nice. I had a chicken and bacon sandwich with chips. The man at the counter, who took our orders, was nice and joked with me when I went back up to order some apple pie to share for dessert. Afterwards I basically just came home, although I added a bit of excitement by almost forgetting my umbrella on the train. I remembered just in time to go back for it, but had to go up one station too far and then come back again. oh well.

Thought for the day: It is very confusing to have cars parked both ways on the sides of the street all over the place. As if it isn't hard enough to figure out which way the traffic is coming from! sheesh!

This is me and Bethany going through the barrier!
