Best.Accommodation.Ever.

Nothing too exciting to report from our trip down from Manc other than the fact that the hotel staff must've felt guilty about their late wake-up call for us, so they decided to go ahead and shoot off the fire alarm and have us clear the building to ensure we were up and at 'em.

We lugged our massive bags over to the South Tower Bridge area (Burmondsey) to our new flat which was beyond our wildest dreams. The place is absolutely mint with a good size living room, full kitchen, television, washer/dryer, etc. Only drawback is its proximity to sites, markets, tube stations, etc. But that's a-okay with us.

Upon dropping off our stuff and getting some food/drink, we took the long journey to West London for the Queens Park Rangers match with Preston North End (yes, that's three matches in four days for those counting at home). It was the perfect setting for what we wanted to see...a lower division match in a smaller park with passionate supporters. The ground only holds about 18,000 of which there maybe a couple thousand empty seats (all in the visitors section). Our seats were in the first row, so we could literally reach out and grab the linesman or players. It was incredible. And for having about 1/5 of the fans as Old Trafford, the stadium was wildly loud.

From "can you hear Preston sing? I can't hear a f**king thing" to the chilling, booming chants of, "come on you R's!" the whole experience was outstanding. Not to mention, QPR is battling to stay up in the Championship, so it was a must-win and they pulled it out with a second half strike for the one-nil victory. I tried to capture some of the audio with my camera (was a bit nervous to try to film video of it as the security isn't fond of that) but you can't quite get the full tingly experience.

Today we just walked around a bit. Went up to London Dungeon for the tour, but there was a queue about 10 miles long so we skipped it. Now we're on a desperation search for a pub that will show the United-Roma Champions League match and surprisingly we're having some trouble. More to come...

P.S. My sandwich assault continues, a good 4-5 more in the past few days.
