"Life was meant for good friends and great adventures"
We didn't have any sort of plan for the rest of the day, or for the rest of the weekend actually (which I highly recommend traveling this way), so we planned as we went. We hit all the highlights: The London Eye, Parliament and Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Piccadilly Circus, The tower of London, Tower Bridge, and King's Cross station. We toured inside the Buckingham Palace, which was incredible! Unfortunately we weren't allowed to take pictures inside, but it was gorgeous. We went inside Westminster Abbey, where we also weren't allowed to take pictures, but there's definitely an illegal picture below, along with some more of my favorites from the trip!
- Don't forget to empty your water bottle before going through security at the airport unless you want to be a source of entertainment for the guards. I, unfortunately, was that person and had to drink my entire water bottle in front of a long line of people. Plus side: the security guards got a good laugh out of it.
- "Mind the Gap between the train and the platform" - thanks Tube announcer, wouldn't want to fall through
- Skyping with friends is the best (shoutout to Delyn who's in the picture below)
This weekend I will be in Valencia with ISA. Check back next week to hear about the beach and the Paella!
