Hey Everybody!
Well today we got to sleep in. Oh the joy. And we didnt have to put sheets on the beds because they were already there. Extra plus. Then it was breakie before packing all of our luggage into a small baggage room and heading off into the city. After a quick stop at Harrods (biggest department store in the world if I remember right...) then we were off to a walking tour. On the tour (led by the very demonstrative and humourous Nathan) we saw the Wellington arch, Buckingham palace, St. James Palace, Several royal parks, the Princes house, St. Stevens Clock tour (with the ball called Big Ben), the houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, the Horsegaurd house, the citadel (a vine covered building that houses the security departments of the government), the Prime ministers house, Trafalgar Square as well as other things. Then, we went to a pub with the tour group for lunch before heading back to the hostel to get all of our luggage and get on a train to the coast. Then we boarded our ferry (more like a cruise ship) and we will be pulling out in not too long for our trip accross the North Sea to the Netherlands. Then we´ll be off to Hamburg for a few days with our good friends there.
Miss you all!

sounds incredible. all the details of your trip are so awesome, where you stay and where you go and whatnot. so cool. :) Glad you're all having a smashing time. :D
ReplyDeleteOK, that's just awesome. I assume you saw the tombs of the important people in Westminster Abbey?
ReplyDeleteWow! You somehow managed to sleep in AND see 14+ different things, at least from the outside, before lunch! And it's always interesting when you have a tour guide who's a little bit out of the ordinary. :)
