Bare Hyde's

It was the Trooping of the Colour today (the day the Queen's Birthday is celebrated)  I took a Hop on Hop off Tour today, but just chose to stay on as the traffic was horrible because of the celebrations.  I also got to see about 1,000 or more naked people riding their bikes, it was hilarious, and yet a tad gross as quite a few of the bicycles were the ones you can rent around town.  Some people body painted themselves, and dressed up, with all the naughty bits showing.  It made the blocked traffic and racoon tan I got worthwhile.  Word is they were demonstrating just how fragile people are on bikes in London.  After being there a week, I would have to say that from what I saw, many of the cyclists make themselves victims by not wearing helmets, and riding like asses (is that why they were naked bums everywhere?). I hope to post some pictures (no promises on the quality, or even if you will see naked bits, but you will see skin :) After the nakedness I saw all of the touristy stuff today - it was amazing.  Lots of the tube stations (the ones I needed) were down today, so I took a cab to Paddington Station, and then booked the 8:00pm to Bath.  I arrived at the Best Western Bath Abbey around 9:30pm, grabbed a pizza and a coke from across the street, and here I am.  Thinking I might just go over to the pub across the street soon.  Who knows what kinda trouble I'll get into tomorrow?
