Then we left for the Tower of London, which we toured for a while. We were going to follow the tour guide and his quirky explanations, but we decided it would be faster to go off on our own. We walked through the jewels and armor and living quarters, then wandered to the Tower Bridge. Took some pictures, enjoyed the scenery, then found our way to the Camden Market for shopping.
It was like bargain shopping for hats, cloths, some souvenirs… definitely some creeper guys trying to sell us stuff, so we didn’t stay too long. Just long enough for Kristen to buy a cute hat, and for Aubrea to get a dress to wear to the play.
At this point, we were somewhat behind schedule, but we eventually made it back to our hostel, where all 5 of us were able to take showers and get ready in only 45 minutes to leave for dinner! I was definitely impressive that five girls can get ready so fast in one small hostel room with one bathroom.
We ate dinner at another Italian place called Pizza Express, which from its name, you would think it’s fast food, but it was actually a nice restaurant. We got pizza and risotto, and shared a bottle of wine. It was fun being dressed up and going out!
Then we made our way to the Victoria Palace theater for the musical, Billy Elliot. There are no words to describe how amazing it was! I am still awestruck at the amazing ballet and tap dancing, beautiful singing, acting, and the story itself. The lead boy was amazing and such a well-rounded performer. Definitely laughed a TON, shed one or two tears, and clapped until my hands were red. My new favorite musical :)
Can’t believe it’s our last night in London already. I’m sad I won’t be living with these beautiful and amazing girls from now on, but I am also excited for our adventure in Spain to begin.
That’s all for tonight. Early flight in the morning! Overall sum up of London? An unforgettable experience!
