My Planned Itinerary

I am freaking out! But in a good way..

Been looking at places to stay in London once i touch down at 8.30pm London time. Seems like i can stay anywhere in London since all the hostels are connected by the many colorful train routes. Better to do early bookings to get my mind at ease.

But i am a little apprehensive on staying in a hostel alone with a bunch of strangers. I read a few hostel reviews and it scarred me a little- comments of shared moldy bathrooms, standing in long queue in the morning, the mediocre breakfast, the stinky bed smelly feet, the rude staffs, but i guess you only get what u paid for. All the check out time is 10am. The breakfast is very early, starting from 7am- no time to rest and sleep, n in some places the cleaners started to vacuum at 7am.
