Day 2 & 3: London

Day 2:
On Tuesday, we got up early(ish) and ate breakfast at the hostel (for free!). Then we went to Knightsbridge to shop. The area is really cute... it's got Harrods, Harvey Nichols, H&M and Topshop, plus a bunch of other little boutiques. We shopped for a while and bought a lot of really cute stuff (Topshop and H&M).

After shopping, we went and got on a double decker bus tour that went all of over the city. The tour guide, Ben, was really funny and gave tons of random facts. The tour was great and we can use the buses tomorrow, too! We didn't get off at any major stops (it was raining and we are going to go back tomorrow for up close looks).

For dinner, we ate in Leicester Square at a great Italian place. Then we walked around and windowshopped before going to see Sex and the City 2. The movie theaters here are super nice... but super expensive!

Day 3:
Today, we went back on the double decker bus and got off at all the major stops. We saw the Changing of the Guards at Buckingham Palace (really long...but the band played good music!), Parliament (which was closed for a political debate), Big Ben, Westminster Abbey (beautiful. and we took pictures standing inside our maps, like Joey on friends!), Tower Bridge, Tower of London (it was huge... but so cool! they have everything set up like it would have been hundreds of years ago.) We walked through Hyde Park and Green Park, until the rain started again.

We ate dinner at Hard Rock Cafe - it's the original one. (they also have the original Imagine lyrics that John Lennon wrote)

We are about to go get drinks... thinking about going to Stonehenge or Greenwich tomorrow.

*We got a 4th roommate! We haven't met her yet, but when we came back her stuff was in the room. Scary!
