A little late I know but I went to London last week with two friends of mine P and B. The three of us went to go watch The Technically Difficulties, a comedy group.
But first, the travel. We all arrived individually over the course of an hour. P and B got trains from Leeds and Cambridge respectively. And I, I got another damn coach, this time a sleeper coach leaving at 2:45 in the morning.
Why you ask? Because apparently I'm a weird masochist. In total I didn't do too badly, I got about 4 hours sleep in the form of 45 minute segments.
I was the first to arrive at 8am and got myself a Maccy's from Kings Cross whilst I waited for the others.
I learnt two important things about London whilst I waited. It is beautiful, a lot of money has been spent there and it is even more expensive then I thought.
Secondly, the tube is an absolutely horrible form of transport. I hope dearly Leeds never invests in one. They are truly the worst.
Once we'd gathered we headed to the Natural History Museum where we got a photograph with Darwin. Due to time restrictions we went through much faster than I usually do, only skim reading the more interesting exhibits.
In total we probably spent only 3 hours there including lunch (a £3 bag of half cooked chips, 3/10).
Before long we were back across London to watch the show and frankly, it was an incredible show. When it is released online I will definitely link it here.
We chanted Yorkshire, laughed, and generally just had a good time. And before long I was eating my Mystery Biscuit and on a train North to Leeds for a family party.
By the end of the night I was happy, chatty, a little drunk, and positively exhausted. I collapsed on my bed sometime post midnight and slept like a baby. Aside for some travelling, Sunday was a write off for rest.
