Anyways. London happened Feb. 18-20 and it was a good time! The weather sucked, but it was February in London. What can I really expect, right? I really enjoyed it except I don't think I got to see all of it, since we were there for so short a time.
So. Day 1: we had a few drinks the night before, so we were moving pretty slow! Basically we did a lot of eating. First stop:
is anyone REALLY surprised by this?
Sad thing: it was a HUGE disappointment. The flavors were the same(ish) but the rice wasn't cooked and it just was not that good. Sigh. Miss you, Chipotle.
Then we ate at the ORIGINAL Hard Rock Cafe! So that was cool.
And we went to a play:
hilarious!
Day 2: We took those bus tours and did the super tourist thing. Pretty fun way to see the city but again, it was rainy and gross and cold, so the top deck was NOT that fun. Here's a few highlights:
Kensington Palace.. where Princess Diana lived
Liester Square
Westminster Abbey
againnn
parliament
Big Ben!
did anyone else know that big ben is actually the bell in the tower? not the actual tower? I didn't.
St. Paul's Cathedral
My only complaint was that at a lot of these places, the admission was SO expensive. St. Paul's was like.. 14 pounds. After the student discount.. which usually gets us in for free places all over Europe. So we didn't actually go in a lot of places.
Day 3 (our last day!) we went to the Tower of London...
outside
inside
Also the CROWN JEWELS were there which rocked. No pictures allowed though. Lame.
Tower Bridge
Buckingham Palace
cool gates that go with it!
So overall London was a great time, minus the weather. Shopping was pretty good too and I would maybe want to go back? Possibly in April. We'll see!
