Still in Earls Court

Okay, so finally getting back to the blogging thing. Have found an internet cafe that has USB's so check my pictures file for a few snaps. They take ages to upload so I will do some more when Jordy is not so hungry and wanting to go... :)
Pretty much since I last wrote, we have see Phantom of the Opera (in which we all fell asleep for short periods... we were very tired!), as well as gone through the Tower Bridge, and been to the Shrek 3 premiere in Leicester Square compltely by accident. As it happened, we got to see the heads of Cameron Diaz, Mike Myers, Justin Timberlake, Antonio Banderas and Rupert Everett. Pretty cool. Yesterday we went to Windsor Castle, Salisbury Cathedral and Stonehenge. Windsor Castle was amazing.... just like out of a fairytale. It's the largest and oldest occupied working castle in the world. I have a heap to say about that but not enough time so hopefully I'll get a chance to tell you later. Salisbury Cathedral is HUGE and has the "tallest spire in the land". Stonehenge was good, but somehow not as mystical and amazing as everyone makes out. It is fascinating how they managed to get the stone slabs there and put them all together, though. Today we went to the Walkabout Pub on the Thames and watched the origin with about half of the australian population of London... it was completely packed. Yay Maroons!!! Afterwards, we shopped a heap, going to Harrods among other places. Lots of fun. It's weird though, we all felt a sense of disgust at the sheer materialism and greed that Harrods seems to radiate. (probably because we couldn't afford anything in there)... But there defiitely was a stark contrast between the beggers out the front and the 2000 pound (almost $6000 Aussie dollar) Dior dress that I came across. Fun to go, but I feel like all that money could be much better spent elsewhere. We went into the Cartier store inside Harrods and looked at the engagement rings... they didn't even look real!! They were so big that they looked like something you'd get out of a gum machine. Anyway, tomorrow we are off to Oxford University, Stratford (where Shakespeare was born) and the Cotswolds. Write again soon. I'll explain the photos and where they're from next time if I can. xoxo
