Vegemite!! I tried it! I know, I know, it's Australian, not British, but all the Aussies told me how horrible Marmite is, so I was a little afraid. Maybe I'll try it on my way back through London on the return. Vegemite makes a nice sandwich spread with a tangy cheese. It doesn't taste bad at all; mostly it just tastes like salt. I don't really know what all the fuss is about.

For all you in the States complaining about the price of cigarettes, they're £5 pounds here for the most part. That translates to 10 US dollars. Per pack. And I'm told in Australia and New Zealand they run 10 or 12 dollars. Yikes.

I'm off tomorrow on the Chunnel to Brussels. Now to track down a hostel...
