Lost in London

Okay, so I'm finally here at my hostel. Finally. Gosh. Everything was peachy this morning... Got to the airport on time, flight only took an hour, took the London Express from London Stansted to Victoria Station... And then I got lost. Wandered around Victoria Station for almost an hour, stopping to get food at Burger King before I finally found the Info Centre. Asked them how to get to King's Cross and they directed me to the Victoria Line which is underneath the Victoria Station. So, anyway, got on the Victoria Line, got off at King's Cross/St Pancras and then realized that I'd forgotten to write down the street my hostel was on. Durrr... I bought a map, asked several random people on the street/in restaurants/at newspaper stands before I found another hostel that said Journey's Hostel was on Caledonian Street. So I finally get here after being lost in London for almost three hours. I'm really tired and have come down with some sort of cold so I think I'm just going to stay in this area and not go to any museums today. I'll be going to see Wicked tonight at the Apollo Victoria and then tomorrow I'll hit as many museums as I can before my trip on the London Eye at 7:30.

Some guy from Ireland came in to get his bag (there are lockers right next to the computers) and was talking to me about something, though I couldn't tell what he was saying half the time! I can understand Scottish accents now but some thick Irish accents are so hard to make sense of!

Alright, I'm gonna get out and walk around a bit, see if I can get rid of this headache. Ciao!
