Sean is making me mention that for the LOTR show we had front row seats, instead of top-of-the-balcony-back-row seats, simply because we went to the theater box office instead of ordering online. Day seats are great things - same price, infinitely better view.

Spamalot was as hilarious as I expected it to be. Definitely want to see it again, as I'm sure I will.

Had a fun morning, as we realized that we had to check out today from the Olympia instead of tomorrow as we planned, so we packed quickly and called about a dozen hostels in six cities before finding one free tonight. Took a bus to bristol, then a bus to here - Glastonbury, home of, well, strange people who we don't think are quite right in the head. We did walk up to Glastonbury Tor - literally, Glastonbury Hill - where, supposedly, King Arthur sleeps, waiting to awake when Brittania needs his rule again. Mostly it was just pretty and windy - but we could see for miles.

Then tried to find a place to spend friday and saturday nights - very, very difficult to do. We wanted to do Oxford, but the only place free was Stratford on Avon; so after Stonehenge and travel tomorrow I guess we're learning about Shakespear Saturday. After that Manchester, home of the famous ManU, then on to York. After that we're not quiet sure until Edinbourgh...
