NFL weekend London

October 22 - 26 /12
Another week of antibiotics, doctors visits, and relaxing.


Saturday October 27 / 12


Took the train to London and met up with my previous host, Christoffer, from Malmo, Sweden.
We met at the train station and headed into the centre for the NFL pre-game rally.

There were tons of people there, all sporting their favourite teams jersey. There was representations of all 32 teams.


We listened to different players and people talk on stage and just embraced the atmosphere.

We bought tickets to the show, We will Rock You, featuring Queen.

So after we had seen the rally, we went for dinner then to the show.

The show was incredible; great story, acting, music and singing. It was fantastic.

After the show we went back to the station to get our luggage and then we had to find a hotel because our original couch surfing host ditched out on us. We found one just a little ways out of town and settled there for the night.


Sunday October 28 / 12 GAME DAY!

Up early enough to head to our next planned hotel to drop off our luggage.

We got breakfast / lunch then headed to Wimbley Stadium.

We picked up our tickets and checked out the tail gate parties and rally.

 The stadium was great and the atmosphere was amazing.

As you can see, Chris and I had great seats.

The game started exciting, as the St. Louis Rams scored off the opening drive.

Unfortunately they did not score again and the New England Patriots just kicked ass.

I got to see Tom Brady in action, throwing some nice passes.

It was great to see the game. The stadium was roaring with excitement despite the blowout.




Monday October 29 / 12

Walked around a bit of London and did a bit of shopping with Christoffer.

Then took the train back to Cambridge.

Feeling healthy again, I had only 2 more days in England before heading out for the next part of my journey, starting in Turkey.
