London was really busy. After getting up and out of the overnight trains, we went on a walking/sightseeing tour with Allen and the coach bus driver, Nico. We went on the Millenium Bridge and slid across it. It was pretty fun stuff. :). The weather wasn't the best though. It was pouring at times, and then it would be sunny. Nico ended up being late to pick us up so we were all quite soaked. Once Nico came, we got to our hotel in London and soon after, went out to grab some lunch (hummus and chicken. delicioso). I hadn't really had hummus before, so I was happy that I enjoyed it more than I thought I was going to. We then went on a tour of London and went shopping. Derek took us to Soho, which was pretty creepy and sketchy o_o. Also, the Shamrock group took some pictures in the telephone booth. We got to fit all six of us in there, wooh. After the telephone booth, we saw some spots where they filmed Harry Potter (Diagon Alley, Kings Cross Station). That was pretty amazing.
Summary of the day & highlights:
We ate some food (breakfast) on the train, went straight on our walking tour with Allen and Nico, saw several buildings, such as the building that looks like a pickle, stopped by Millenium Bridge, had hummus for lunch, toured around London's market, and shopped some at the convent market. The highlight would be shopping during our free time :)!
