Sorry this post is verrrry delayed ...London was amazing! I absolutely loved it there. Expensive- YES buttt soooo worth it.Our flight left thursday night around 10pm and landed in London around 11:45pm. When we got to London everyone was absolutely tired and cold from the plane and had to wait in this rediculously long line to have our passports checked. When we got through the line, we figured out that our hostel was an hour and 20 minutes away. YIKES!! So we all bought these bus tickes for 13pounds (=$26american dollars). When we got into the city, we got off the bus only to realize that our hostel was around a 35 minute walk away. With everyone now tired and crabby we got cabs instead of wandering in the city for forever. We finally made it to our hostel at 4:30 in the stupid morning. AHHH!!! We wake the other three girls in our room up because we had to turn on the light to find where to put our stuff. Being my first time in a ''real'' hostel I slept with my purse under my arms the whole night.Friday we woke up around 10 got some BURGER KING!! Oh this was such a nice break from pasta and pizza. Then we all got tickets to tour the city on a double decker bus!! We got off the bus around Big Ben and Westminster Abbey. We walked from here to Buckingham palace. On the way here a few of us were a little behind when we noticed our friends ahead and they were talking to these people on some double decker bus- As I got closer I realized that they were not people we knew it was the JONAS BROTHERS!!! They were filming a music video, and were talking to us and we made it on their website. (www.bebo.com/jonasbrothers) At buckingham palace we took pictures with the infamous guards. ANDDDD my roommate Alysa got one to laugh. It was wierd because we think that these we new guards in training because they were quite easy to crack. On our walk home we went shopping and went to dinner at Cheers during happy hour and our food was rediculously cheap. Thank god! After dinner we went to Kate Moss's store TopShop. Holy Crap, this store is amazing. It had clothes, shoes (TONS TONS TONS of shoes), jewelry, purses, guys department, place to get your hair and nails done, a fashion consultant, cafe area, vintage level. Oh man if our American dollar was worth more I would have for sure spent money here. Buttt i didnt dont worry! Friday night some of us went to this club called TigerTiger. This club was set up really cool, with two different levels and really good music, and of course best of all CUTE BOYS, who SPEAK ENGLISH!!!Saturday we woke up got some lunch/breakfast, and then got back on the bus to tour some more of the city. We went to the wax museum, which by the way is a play house for big kids. I had a blast here! After this we headed to the london tower and the london bridge. And then took a long way to the london eye. This is where we had some awesome views of the city. After this we grabbed some dinner at an English pub. I had some delicious fish and chips. It was about 7pm here and all of a sudden when we were waiting for our food this guys is getting kicked out of the pub and he gets into with the worker, and the cops are called. It was rather intense. After dinner we headed to ABBEY ROAD! It was late and we couldnt take good pictures, but the lady taking them accidentally took a video. I will have to figure out how to post them. That night, our last night, four of us decided that despite the taxi coming at 3am to take us to the airport, that we wanted to go out. We went to TigerTiger again. Moral of the story, not such a good idea. We almost missed our flight, but we made it just in time.Sunday I slept alllll day long.Last couple days in Roma ... post to follow.
