LONDON!!

Last stop... LONDON, the spot I couldn't wait to get to and admit was so sad to leave! London as you all know is huge! So this trip we all sort of split up during the day and then came together for performances at night! So Pheegan and I were off in the big city!

Day 1 once we all got settled in our hostel and mastered the tube, we made our way to Piccadilly to search out cheap show tickets for the night! We grabbed at the chance to see 3 Days of Rain, a three person show which included James McAvoy as one of them! It was such an amazing performace and a wonderful play! For the rest of the day we walked around and found Big Ben, Parliament, and Westminster Abbey!
Day 2 we made our way to King's Cross and found Platform 9&3/4 from Harry Potter. Then walked around Hyde Park, saw part of the changing of the guards, but decided to try another day. Took a ride in the London Eye and spent some time at the British Museum! One word to describe that place, massive! That night we had our tickets to the musical Spring Awakening! It was fantastic and so upbeat! All the actors are our age, so it made the storyline more relatable and fun! After the show we made our way to the stage door and got to meet some actors and even got a pic and autograph with the main guy!
Day 3 was Pheegan and I's busy day! We started in Hyde Park searching out the Peter Pan statue and Finding Neverland movie spots. Then we went to Buckingham Palace and waited for changing of the guards which unfortunately got cancelled! So we moved on and found St. Paul's Cathedral where we climbed to the very top, about 400 or so steps to see the city again! After that we jumped a bridge to the Tate Modern to relax and find some great artwork! Right next door we saw Shakespeare's Globe theater and took the tour. Down along the river we continued to the London Bridge - nothing to see ;) and then the Tower Bridge, another stunning view from the top! And finally the last stop was the Tower of London, which we saw the outside, but didn't have the time or money for the tour! At night Andrea and I took the infamous Jack the Ripper tour and saw some of the murder sites and dark alleys of east London! Very good, much recommended!
Day 4 was Easter Sunday and our day for a tour! We signed up for Stonehenge, Bath, and Windsor Castle, but unfortunately the royal family was celebrating Easter at Windsor, so we saw Hampton Court Palace instead. First stop was Hampton Court Palace where Henry the 8th brought all 5 of his wives, including Anne Boleyn! Then we continued further down the road to Stonehenge! Unfortunately you can only walk a clear distance around it, but I did take this photo! That one is for you Em! And finally we finished at Bath where we saw the Roman Baths and Jane Austin's museum! After the tour ended, the evening was not yet finished, so Pheegan and I were off again to search out Fleet St. and Baker St. to end our time in London!
The next morning we were off again, this time back to Lillehammer after a span of two weeks! Overall it was an unbelieveable trip considering all the places we managed to get to!
