Hey everyone !
We are so unlucky with the internet connection. We are writing to you from the hostel where we stayed at the beginning of the month, we sneaked in to be able to connect comfortably in a couch :)

Our concern was to get a mail from Gareth, he will be our host in London, until the 16th at least (maybe more as he told us)So yes, we are giving a second chance to London, and leaving tomorrow by bus at 13:30.We would like to be able to have a positive view of this big hive London is.
And actually there was few solutions : stay in Bristol and rent a room (a bit expensive), give a try in other cities (but we needed accomodation there too) or going to London, where we had an host since our requests from Edinburgh. So now it is chosen!
Let's talk about our stay in Bristol since last news. We stayed at Mark's place, a cool guy, post-it crazy (as there are plenty on the walls) and well we could talk to him only one day, but he let us stay for 9 days at his flat because he was in London (check out our mattress bed on the picture on the left). We had to clean a bit for the place to be bearable (germs speaking) and on top of all he didn't have the fucking internet. There was living Jeja, a serbian girl, that was a couchsurfer like us, but then stayed to live with Mark since May....
Everyday we went out for our one or two hours of connection, but it was really hard, so we had to comfort our need for computers with video games emulation, ahah. We finished The Battle of Olympus & The Lion King, and just began the super extra Square's & Toriyama's Chrono Trigger roleplaying game. We needed that to feel better :) What a good invention, emulators...
During these days we had several walks in town, and could discover good places and funny ones, like "Build a Bear" a cute shop where you chose your cuddy toy, you chose a sound to put on it when you squeeze it, then you fill, and dress it.
Check out our Bristol folder on Flickr to see some pictures we've taken.
Enough for now, we might be looking for a Japanese restaurant now (our sushi craving comes in every town) and we will be visiting Geoff Barrow's art gallery when we come back in Bristol later.
Kisses everyone,
and wish us luck to have a better Londonian time !
Hope for you this time it's gonna be better cause London's awesome!
