But lets be real people, London…. WAS FREAKING AWESOME!! I can’t even begin to tell ya’ll how much I love London. Lets just name a few reasons:
1. They speak English-seriously the most amazing thing I have never really appreciated. Communication is a glorious thing.
2. They are helpful and polite-maybe this was just in my case or the Royal Wedding really had people in a good mood but I never met a rude person in my time there.
3. Great food-lets not forget how I have a food addiction…I had some delicious things while I was there-bangers and mash(sausage and mashed potatoes), fish and chips, Chinatown. Can’t beat it.
4. History-London has the most amazing history. I loved learning all weekend and visiting some of the most well known places.
5. Cheesy William and Kate Souvenirs- they were cute, they were pointless, they were cheap and they were everywhere!!! Don’t you worry though… I got some! ha
6. British accents- lets not lie to ourselves.. everything sounds better with a British accent. The best movies..cough cough pride and prejudice..cough cough have British accents. Point made.
7. The Tube- I loved the underground… idk why but I do, its quick, easy to navigate, and its just plain fun!
8. Plenty to do: while I was there I saw Chicago on stage, ate at local pubs, saw a Royal Wedding, went on the London Eye, just enjoyed walking around, SOHO, and Regents Street.
9. Reread number 6 again. Because its so true.
10. Re read number 8. Things I did continued: saw the London Tower, sang London Bridge is Falling Down on the actual London Bridge. Went to a WW2 museum, shopped, ate sticky toffee pudding, and saw Wimbledon.
Like my top 10 for my 10 days left in Italia?! Overall, London was a great experience. If I ever come back, London will be on the list, there is still so much to see and do there!! There are honestly too many stories to write them all here. So below is just a recap of my weekend in pictures with alittle information about them!
Here I am riding a double decker bus-this was soon after arriving in London. about 3 hours later at 4 am did we finally find our hostel... note taken, London doesn't have any transportation systems open after 1. HA!
The London Eye-This is "green" friendly, and gives you the best views of London!
With the Parliament building. Also where Robert Downey Jr. "jumped" out the window in the movie Sherlock Holmes.
Big Ben!
With the London police or "Bobbies"!
Fish and Chips! The pub was award winning in the UK! And I would have to agree!
The Royal Kiss! Ekk I'm a hopeless romantic.. so what?!
Buckingham Palace.
Westminster Abbey... where the royal couple was married. Lines to see inside was wrapped around the church..
Hampton Court Palace. This was Henry the 8th's place.
Shakespeares' Globe-So cool, our tour guide was so interesting and knew so much.. and of course it sounded even better with his British accent.
London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down....
The London Eye-Where Henry the 8th, beheaded his wives along with a few other misbehaving kids.
