Been keeping a journal of the trip on the 770, but haven't found an open wireless router in order to upload it. Saw on BBC Breakfast this morning that the City of Bristol is currently rolling out free wireless across the entire city. Sadly, we're not in Bristol; and while London may wire itself for wireless, it's not happening yet, and when it does it won't be free. So anyway, I may have to wait to upload the full journal when we get home. Currently my lovely wife and I are sitting in a cybercafe after dinner.

Dang, this keyboard is screwing me up. I'm half tempted to pick up a British keyboard to take back with me, just for the novelty of it. We'll see, if I can find an actual electronics store somewhere. Need to find one anyway, as the second memstick for the camera didn't make it across, and 128 MB isn't nearly enough to store a day's pictures.

Went to the V&A Museum today. Wandered around for at least five hours without seeing even half of it. There's a spinet near the entrance from the Underground which fills me with desire. Jewels everywhere, with lapis lazuli and other stones laid into the keys. Hope at least one of the pics came out.

Keep seeing goujons on the menus (cod goujons, chicken goujons, etc.) Finally managed to look it up on Google tonight. Not as frightening as I'd feared.

Anyway, so far we've seen: St. Paul's Cathedral, the Globe Theatre, the Golden Hinde, the National Gallery, Trafalgar Square, St. Stephen's bell tower, the Victoria & Albert Museum, and a whole lot of fabric stores. Tomorrow it's to the National Maritime Museum, Westminster Abbey, Parliament, and anything else we can squeeze in (if we can).

For all the jokes about English cooking, we haven't had a bad meal yet. The only complaint I have is that everything opens up so late and closes so early. While Napoleon described England as a "nation of shopkeepers", he obviously didn't try to go to the store after 5PM.

Getting close to the end of my 50p here, so I guess I'll wrap up this entry. (Still, 30 minutes for 50p is much better than the workstation at the hotel, which charges 50p for five minutes, and has a fairly crippled Web browser (no Javascript, no ActiveX).
