Day 8

Tower of London, Tower Bridge, London Eye, Parliament building, and Big Ben all in 7 hours. Dam I work good alone! Yes I got to visit all these sights in one day full of rain, sun, and hail. The London Eye was so much fun and had amazing views of the city. A tad on the pricey side (17 pounds), but what isn't in London?

Another first for me today as well. I asked a lady who was standing on the street if she would take a picture of me in front of Big Ben. She looked at me with a grin on her face, rolled her eyes, and answered in her uptight English accent..."Well, no I don't want to" and walked away. haha, never got that answer before! I know locals get annoyed with the big crowds of tourists, which is understandable. However when you are standing on a street, where the London Eye, Parliament, and Big Ben are it is sort of a given that there WILL be tourists.

I am doing great at the Hostel, meeting some cool and interesting people. The street my hostel is on is situated in a very suburban area which reminds me of Oakvile. The street is filled with expensive cars (spotted an Aston Martin ) and Lulu Lemon Mothers. Makes me feel right at home! I have just about mastered the tube station here. Which is a immense feat for me. Really this is a big deal that I can navigate my way through London's subway system successfully.
