Clubs, Clubs and More Clubs
@HOTEL. Well let's just say that we've been partying like rockstars here in London. Friday night, after making a quick stop over at a new friends flat to pick up some party supplies, it was off to Fiction at the Cross which was an interesting mixed club located underneath a bridge at an old freight yard. The club itself was underground and consisted of 7 different main rooms that were brick lined, arch shaped tunnels with multiple connecting arched tunnel ways to each main room. This was definitely the definition of the London Undergound Club scene. Even though it was a pretty mixed club, there we sooooo many hot guys in there, and of course all of them with their shirts off. And let's just say we might as well been in Amsterdam because the club drugs flow very free here in London. I must have gotten asked no less then 10 times from different people if I 'wanted pills' on the dance floor. We got there around 1am and stayed until about 6am before making our way back to the Kings Cross Underground Station and back to our hotel. It was light outside and such a beautiful morning, so before we went into our hotel Justin and I decided to walk down to Green Park and sit on a bench there for a while and chat. The trees were russeling with the breeze and the sun was just coming up, it was really beautiful.
On Saturday, when we finally awoke from our drug induced club coma, we headed out to grab some Indian food. We found a pretty nice place right around the corner and ate a little too much. Later in the evening we decided to take a walk up to SOHO and grap a drink. At a recommendation from someone, we decided to check out this place called the Shadow Lounge. Well apparently this is the place to go after all the pubs close at 11pm because it's open late. We got there right around 10:30pm and it was pretty empty, but it became packed very soon. Two bottles of wine, some soaked t-shirts, and a bunch of dancing later it was 5am and we were headed once again back to the hotel at the crack of dawn. Today we're going to be headed down to the Tower Bridge area to do the Jack the Ripper Walking tour which should be fun. Here are some photos so far from our trip. I'll have them all up in my photogallery once I'm back in the states on Thursday. Cheers!

Incredible views of London from the London Eye which takes 30 min to go all the way around.
