Sorry for all the foreign words and phrases in my blogs I am just so excited:)
Sorry that it's been 4 days since my last blog,so much has happened!!
Wednesday, I woke up and had a 3 hour long tour around the heart of London. I got to see Big Ben, the Eye of London (their ferris wheel), Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, The British Museum, the London Tower, London Bridge, Platform 9 3/4 (from Harry Potter) and more. Then around noon we were left to our own devices for lunch and had the rest of the day to do whatever we wanted. We decided to all stay as a group and explore together. We stopped at a famous fish and chips restaurant. I had what they called "Cornish Pastie" which was a crisp pastry filled with meat and veggies, it was delicious! Then went to the British Museum where we saw actual mummies out of their casket. Many were stilled wrapped but one one preserved so well by the Egyptians that the body was still intact and somehow the facial structure was very defined with parts of skin and even nails. We also saw part of the Greek Parthenon and the Rosetta stone which directly translates egyptian hieroglyphics. Next was Shakespeare's Globe Theatre which we took pictures of, then the London Bridge. We then crossed another bridge where Harry got attacked by the death eaters (for you Harry Potter fans). We continued on to Platform 9 3/4 where we coincidentally lost Cameron, the only guy in our group. Us girls wanted to experience a British pub so we wasted time there, waiting for Cameron to turn up but he never did :/ We headed back to the hotel early to get a good night sleep before the 7am flight to Lyon.
Some pictures of London before my camera died :(
