UK? OK!

Or Jen will what? Lack of punctuation creates suspense, Joe!

Anyways, so after hanging out around the Tokyo central JR station, and have possibly the most expensive bad coffees ever (500 yen and they were rubbish) we headed back to Narita and checked into our second hotel, the Holiday Inn. Not quite as flash as the Hilton but still very comfortable.

The next morning, we got up at 6:30, took the complimentary shuttle to the airport and started the next long haul flight to London. We got to the airport at 8, flight left at 11, arrived in London at 2:30 UK time, then through customs and off to the Tube at around 4, and finally got to Comber House in Camberwell around 6. However in Japan time (and our personal body clock time) it was 2am by the time we could relax... Suffice to say we've been pretty jetlagged the last couple of days, hence the delay in getting this up..

After a very long sleep, we spent Sunday pretty much doing nothing; we went outside only to find a supermarket for food supplies. It's really hard to work out good prices on things when you're working in a currency that is worth three times as much as the money at home. Let alone deal with apparent rises in prices (it all seems like a rise!)

Anyways. Since arriving we've pretty much been doing paperwork - applying for bank accounts, looking for flats, getting cell phones sorted out (if anyone wants our numbers just email!) and watching BBC news. Took some time out from our busy schedule last night to go to Spamalot - it's pretty much Holy Grail as a musical, and was so so so funny... Best line was from Patsy, King Arthur's servant and coconut clacker:

Arthur - Why didn't you tell me you were a Jew?
Patsy - Well, it's not the sort of thing you admit to a heavily armed Christian...

Just beaaauutiful. Apparently you can't make it to West End if you don't have any Jews, so good thing really.

Also had dinner at Porters, an English restaurant, was pretty delicious and sooo filling. I had yummy sausages and mash (but flasher) and Joe had salmon and prawn cakes (not as good as my sausages).

Today we'll be trying to set up viewing appointments at flats in Bedford, we've got our eye on a couple and I have my fingers crossed for one in particular...

I took a few photos around the place yesterday so will put those up asap. Write to us!
