London!

My last adventure on this study abroad trip was going to London. It was me and two of my good friends crossing the pond to the notorious London! The trip was perfect. We did everything that we wanted to do but still took time to relax. The first night we took the underground to Tower Bridge and saw the city skyline. We enjoyed the view so much that we decided to eat dinner right on the water. We could see the bridge, the river and the city. It was a great start to a great trip!

The next day was another day to scratch an item off on the bucket list. We started at 8 am with a bus tour of the city. It was like we were in the movies, touring London in the double Decker buses with the look of amazement painted on our faces. At 11 the tour bud dropped us off the see the changing of the guards. Usually, people crowd in front of Buckingham palace to just get a glimpse of the guards. The tour guide knew a way for us to get front row seats! Instead of heading to the palace we went to the building where the old guards marched out and walked to the new guards. I was able to stand on the sides of the street and see them up close and personal! Something that not a lot of people have the chance to do. Then we hopped 

back on the bus where we finished the tour at Harrods.

The next two days we walked around the city taking in the sights and the history of London.  We went from one end of the city to the next. Stopping in between sights too of course do a little bit of shopping J We spent half of our day walking through Portobello market near Noting hill.We took a water cruise down the river that passed under the Tower Bridge, London Bridge and the bridge that was filmed in the Harry Potter films. We also went to King's Cross train station and took pictures at platform 9 3/4. And of course we wandered the streets taking pictures in every classic telephone booth we could find! :)

It was a trip filled with quirky crazy moments with friends that are dear to my heart!
