London: Conquered

      Today! Our last day in London, I am so sad but definitely made the most of it! Up a little later then normal (which felt really nice!) but still, there was no way I was wasting a full free day in London. Leaving the hotel with Stephanie at about 11 o’clock we navigated our way to the first stop of “big bus tour”. we had gotten ticket earlier in the week to ensure that any sites we missed along our academic pursuits we could them today! This was a double decker, open top, guided tour of London England. The bus allowed us to hop on and off whenever we wanted as the tours ran multiple buses all day long. We saw some amazing places and a few we had already been to. I would recommend this to anybody in London because in case you miss anything on your trip you wont miss it on the tour. 

Front seats on the double decker! We sure are eager.

      We saw the original Hard Rock café. Protesters made the bus detour a few times but that only gave us more sites to see! The tour guides were not supposed to discuss the protests and claimed them to simply be "fascist demonstrations". Yes, this was very convincing when they stopped traffic and were pursued heavily by police officers on foot. 

      We also went to the Albert Pub which is a historical building; it cannot be torn down or changed. This was amazing because it was one of the oldest building s in London and in the centre of huge business offices and skyscrapers.

 The white building is Shakespeare's Globe - His theater.

  

Pictures of Big Ben and the London Eye: my two favorite sites in London (that are generic and touristy)

         

             

 

Steph and I being adorable with Big Ben in our background! This clock really amazed me, maybe its because when it was showed in Peter Pan I loved it then too.

This is the Albert Pub, a Listed Building in London, meaning that it cannot be torn down or changed. This was quite the pub to visit it was cozy and in the middle of skyscrapers a real escape from city life...and great beer! ;)  The picture on the right is just a shot from the bus watching cloudy sky collide with the pop-up building infested landscape.

      That night we made a plan to rock London til we literally dropped. Last night had to end in a bang and so it did. Steph and I accumulated 6 club stamps and met more people then I could even imagine (and hardly remember). We got very DRUNK and ended up getting back to the hotel at about 3:30/4 am grumpy and exhausted. The next morning would be a wake up call in many ways. 

Last night, and oh boy did we ever TRY to stay classy :) This is Steph and I at the hotel before all hell broke loose.
