March 14th - London


We needed to find a place for breakfast since our apt wasn't affiliated with any hotels. After walking around in almost a circle, we found a little cafe. It was amazing, the pastries were so good. We decided we would come here for breakfast the rest of the time in London! 

We walked until we found the hop in hop off stop. It wasn't as hard as in Amsterdam to find for sure! London is gorgeous. It went over mostly what we saw already though in the night your so it was a little redundant. We ended up having to switch between three buses cus of driver switch and an issue with the bus. 

We stopped and saw the Westminster Abbey where William and Kate got married. It was really cool to be there and remembering the pictures. Then we walked to buckingham palace. We took some cool pictures there and watched the guards. 

Mom , Mc and I had a tea party to attend so we left the boys to go onto the Winston Churchill war house. The tea party was lovely. We had sandwiches, champagne, desserts, and tea. I had the UK fresh mint tea. We felt so out of place here since we didn't know a lot of the stuff like the strainer to go over your cup so you didn't get loose leaf teas in your cup. It was a lot of fun and good laughs!

Then we went shopping on Oxford street. Always fun. They had every store ever there. Mostly everything was expensive since h&m, so we went there! Then there was a second h&m down the street, so we went there to check if they had the maxi dress I wanted. It was the grand opening that day which was really cool! We got our photo taken at the photo booth! We also went to Nike right after to get Derek his Manchester United soccer gear. Got him the sweatpants, polo shirt and a scarf. I also got him a lebron shirt. Surprised him good for sure!! 

Then we went back to the London Hilton on park lane to go to trader Vic's for dinner. We had a social living deal and the food was just okay. Probably won't go back there!
