Tour Guide Chin Here...

Just Played around using my camera...Cannon Shot Self-E 


So...missed the tour bus with Corey by 2mins.  As we saw the bus leave we decided we would just go on our own tour since we could ask the front desk where to go and we had an itinerary of where the students were heading.  We literally walked around London and took the TUBE or the underground, which was the London subway system.  It was so interesting and was so clean I loved it.  It was a bit interesting though.  It cost 4.30 pounds for one trip and you needy our ticket to leave the station, which is odd. 
I realized British people are so friendly and helped us along the way if we were wondering where something was or if we were heading in the right direction they helped us out.  We went to Westminster first by taking the  Yellow line  or the circle line.  Getting out of the Tube my first thing I saw was BIG BEN. 


It was amazing I couldn’t believe how beautiful it looked.  I took so many pics and was learning how to use my camera a little bit better.  I also so the London Eye…I wish it wasn’t under construction because Corey and me wanted to ride that thing…it was huge. 



We then went to the Westminster Abbey, which was beautiful too.  I think that was the first church I have been in since middle school.  I wish I could have taken pics inside but oh well.   We then walked to the Buckingham Palace.  
 

On our way we thought we saw the tour bus but it was a similar bus but John our drive from the airport was driving it.  He helped us out a bit to get to Buckingham palace and wished us the best.  The palace was awesome got some really cool pics and those guards with the hats…they were there #prettycool.  We then walked toward the Convert Square and walked through the Green Park, which was cool and saw a lot of shopping places.  We ended up checking out cool stores and found the stores here were like bigger and nicer than in the US.  Nike and Adidas had 3 floors and Nike had a photoshoot for people to do.  I wish I could do it…if I had time I would have it would be sick and how to put it #fierce hahaha – Christian Siriano quote there…We then walked to the Convert Gardens and saw a lot of street performers.  We saw a guy juggle knives on a uni-cycle, a magician, and a musical orchestra that did Irish step kinda while playing.  It was very interesting and reminded me of Boston.  It reminded me of Faunal Hall…think I spelt that wrong.   We then ate dinner at a café, which was cool, I got smoked baked salmon.  It was good but then again could have been because I was starving.  I think we burned off all the empty calories we drank the night before today which was fun.  We then took the tube home and just relaxing now.  We found a cool tv station that plays pop music which is ME!!!!!!!! Playing a lot of Rihanna, wish it was GAGA or some new music but Rihanna she alright too…But that’s it for now London is cool and I love it!!!! Leaving for Siena tomorrow morning at 6 in the morning yikes.
