Today we took a bus tour of the city. We got on the bus on Baker St. and made our way around town. We got to see many cool things (BBC building, St. Paul church where Diana and Prince Charles got married, Fleet St.(Sweeney Todd) and Big Ben) and a lot of things are closer then I thought. It's like being in New York almost. Anyway I found out that you can take the tube to Oxford Circus Station and all along the street are some great places to bought clothes. I found an Armani Exchange, FCUK, and a toy store all down the same street. So I'll be going that way this weekend. (Sorry mum! But I'm buying more clothes this weekend!)
Once we got off the bus we went to the Tower of London, where Richard III had his nephews killed. We went inside the bloody tower, which has no bloody bathroom. We did get to see the crowd jewels of the royal family. Those are some pretty cool crowds and rings. Also we got to go in little groups around the place so we didn't have to be in one big group. I didn't see anyone after we broke up, well expect for the people I was hanging out with. I found a two board games called Outrage! and Treason, which are funny. Outrage! has something to do with stealing the crowded jewels (no lie) and I think Treason has something to do with disowning the king or queen. I'm not too sure about that one, but I was almost going to buy them.
Once done with the Tower of London we got lunch (Subway) and got on the river boat to go back to Westminster Abbey. The boat ride was really fun because you got to go by so many more things. We got to go under the London Bridge (which sadly I didn't get a picture of, but I got a picture of the under part of it saying it was the London Bridge) and got to see the London Eye. (That's the big ferris wheel in London.)
We thought about going out more, but some of us were tried and I wanted to get my internet working on my laptop, which is what I did before I started writing this. So now the WiFi works on my laptop and I don't have to go downstairs to use the computers with 20 people who are staring you down so you'll get off so they can go on for no reason.
Tonight I'll be going out with a group of friends, Pat Kelly (the photo teacher), and "Daddy" Draper to a sushi resturant over on Oxford St. It'll be my first time getting sushi, so it'll be a interesting experience.
