It turns out that I was incorrect about the state of the kettle. I was not aware that there was a little dial that I had to turn, a timer, that would allow me to use the particular electrical outlet that the kettle was plugged into. I happily made myself some breakfast consisting of oatmeal, yogurt, a little cheese, and a glass of juice. After cleaning up, I set out to the Victoria and Albert Museum and spent a few hours wandering around the galleries until I got a certain email from Bart. We agreed to meet up around 1pm at a nearby Starbucks. I waited there for an hour.
When they finally arrived, they both looked like the walking dead. I quickly led them back to the hotel where they both showered. Bart immediately went for a nap after his shower. When Matt had finished his shower, we went for a short walk and a coffee, and Matt told me the tale of their adventure. It was all very surreal. When we were done, we returned to the hotel and had a nap as well.
When we were all feeling more refreshed, we met up with Bart's friend, Nikita. We all went out for dinner and drinks at a nearby pub. She told us about life in London (she has been here about four months now) and we told her about our adventures. We made some tentative plans to meet up again the next day for dinner again. She wanted us to experience "a Sunday roast". Sure! The rest of the evening was very quiet.
