Tram & Paul in the UK

Hi Everyone, Paul here.

I don't have much time to write a detailed entry so here's a summary of what we've been up to for the last few days:

Monday we went to Universal Studios. It was very good, about a million times better than movie world and universal studios in sydney (I think that went broke didn't it?) We did most of the attractions.. all the good ones (I hope). That took all day, and because of daylight savings it stays light until about 8:00. We went to dinner at an Italian restaurant that is like a franchise over here, called Buccu (I think). Tram and I and her Uncle had a small meal.. just one, and it was enough to feed about four people. Everything over here really is bigger, although not necessarily cheaper.

Yesterday (Tuesday) we went around trying to find some way to recharge our laptop and my camera because we forgot to bring an american power converter, so we were running out of batteries. We couldn't really get anything, but I realised that we could just use a universal power cord and hopefully the power supplies would be able to handle the voltage, and they could! lucky. So, I have quite a lot of photos to post up but we can't becasue we don't have any decent internet access.. we will wait until we get to England. We then went to a Huntington Beach and Laguna beach for a while.. Tram and her Uncle played Gridiron with some kids and thanks to our holiday at the coast last new year's, Tram knows how to throw a footy and wasn't embarrassed... :) We then went to a mexican restaurant for dinner, very nice and surprisingly cheap. Tram reccommends the Fish tacos :) We overheard a girl talking about going to a Pearl Jam concert that night, so Tram asked them if there were tickets left and whereit was... We went on a bit of an adventure around LA to find it, and eventually did... the only tickets left were right up the back corner of a huge ampitheatre, but we got them anyway and they were awesome... Pearl Jam rock. We've now seen them in Syndey and LA, but not Brisbane hehe. Ashley, you have to see them in ampitheatre.. legendary.

Today we went to Six Flags Magic Mountain, which is a giant theme park about 2 hours north of LA. Tonnes of roller coasters, they are very very good.. There is one called the Riddler where you stand up. very nice :) G-forces are good. Tram even went on two of the roller coasters (there were about 10, but I only went on about 5 because the lines were VERY LONG and we ran out of time)

Anyway, we have to go now, I will give more details some time in the future and post lots of pictures.

Take care everyone,

Lots of love,

Paul and Tram!

PS sorry for typos i'm going fast here :)
