London

With less than one day to spend in London, I opted to spend a good chunk of it on a free walking tour (I love these!). I saw pretty much all of the sites that I knew about in London (London Bridge, Tower Bridge, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace, London Eye, Big Ben, Tate Modern) as well as many that I had not heard of. I was exhausted by the end of the 4 hours and went to sit in Hyde park for a short while. Then I went and bought myself theatre tickets for that night.. while I had planned to see Phantom of the Opera, TKTS was all of out discount tickets for it and I opted to see Avenue Q instead. In the few hours before the show, I did a bit of shopping and a little bit more sight seeing, though I was moving very very slowly. I LOVED Avenue Q - muppets with crude language and all. I then went back to the hostel where I was reconnected with Jasmine and Winnie after several days apart. Very nice to see them and exchange stories about our weekend apart.
