Londontown



So the last two days i have been wondering around london listening to the accents and all of the different kinds of people that we have in london. I went to see all of the tourist things like the Palace, changing of the guard, tower or london, the london eye, and the london dungeon. All of it was amazing and parliament and big ben are huge! i cant even image what the building looks like on the inside.

We met some cool Australian people and they hung out with us wondering the streets of london. There accents are pretty cool and just as hard to understand as the brits. although we don't have a lot of British friends we had a lot of funny and fun times there. Comparing the differences between the 3 countries is funny.

WE are going out tonight and going to see london by night. i heard that the tower and big ben look amazing. We will see, and i want to go in a british taxi!

arrival in London



Im in London! after 13 hours.. i finally made it! After one of the longest plane rides that i can remember i have made it to London. Not to say that it was easy. After our connection in Houston from sF we arrived in heathrow. Met the two others and then took the tube to st. pancreas which is where were got off to find out hostel.

TAking the subway (tube) for the first time was a little bit scary but we manged to do it and no one got hurt. We also found the hostel without a lot of problems. Then waited to check in and took turns finding food... which was close. Because we did almost the most Americans thing to do which was go to Starbucks or McDonald's.

We checked in and then showered and changed then walked around for some food and our first night in London we had falafels and then got lost around the train station and then came back. I ended up passing out at 8pm. But i was so tired that i needed it and hadn't slept for 2 days before that. I ended up sleeping for 13 hours too!
