last set of photos are up

So I'm back in London now and am gradually being reintroduced back into society. I've stopped sleeping outdoors, eating 5000 calories a day and hiding my food before going to sleep every evening. I have to admit I miss the cycling, but I don't miss the camping.

The photos from the last part of my trip are up now, enjoy!

Heading back to the UK

I'm in San Diego airport, I'm all checked in and ready to go. I'm
definitely ready to come home now, looking forward to a break from the
nomadic life! I arrive back tomorrow - probably to the news that Obama
has been elected. Sad news that his Grandmother died the day before
his big day.

I've really enjoyed San Diego, mainly because the hostel was so good.
I've never really enjoyed staying in hostels so I wasn't looking
forward to this part of my trip. Actually it was great, I met loads of
good people, they had events in the evenings and volunteers came in
and cooked healthy 3 course meals for $3. Halloween is a big deal here
so everyone got dressed up and we went out to see a reggae band. They
are putting on an election night dinner tonight with a lecture on how
it all works (and as the results come in - i didnt meet many mccain
supporters there!) and I'm a bit jealous of all the others getting
ready for that as I was leaving. It's the hostel in Point Loma by the
way - check it out if you go to San Diego.

Thanks for all the messages on my last post - greatly appreciated :)
I'm going to organise dinner at the Bonnington Cafe in Vauxhall a week
after I get back so hopefully some of you can make it.
