london homesick blues

just got back from london...my first bad trip to the uk.

 as soon as i landed i took the victoria express from gatwick to victoria station. there, in the queue attempting to renew my oyster card (used for underground, buses, etc) my backpack was stolen...laptop, IPOD!!!, and various other things.

 i filled out a police report (hah), but needless to say, they are gone.

 on the good side, i stayed once again in kensington, and walked quite a bit of london. my favorite part was taking the cobblestone street that runs down embassy row and kensington palace late at night.

 more details later.
