Harrods London

Well today is our last day together we have a 8 hours bus trip back to london then we go our own ways. Awe sad we said our good byes in the morning in Paris and most of the tour stayed few more nights in Paris. Then we headded off.

There was only like 15 of us left back to London.

Once we arrived we said good bye again and …

Our day started with VERY sore feet, so we used the time to get all the photos off the three different devices we'd used so far, and up onto this blog, so that the photos you've seen from previous days were available for your viewing pleasure :)

This took a couple of hours, and meanwhile our heels were recovering somewhat!

By now …

Sunday, our last day, we went back to Buckingham Palace to
get a few more pictures since it was super crowded at the changing of the
guards. Then we went to Harrod’s! How have I never heard of this department
store before?! It is five floors and five acres of rooms upon rooms upon
restaurants, bars, candy shops, ice cream …

Woke up at 0400, wide awake.......so pottered around in the hotel room until 0700 then headed to some markets and to get brunch. London doesn't wake up until 1000, even the markets didn't open until 1000, it was so different to Melbourne were you can go to the markets at 6 in the morning and they are waking up. We went for a wander around Covent …

Este es mi último día en Londres, así que como no quería perderme ni un instante salí hacia mi último destino predeterminado: el Observatorio de Greenwich (pronunciar "grínich"). Como me quedé dormido, y salí más tarde que lo habitual, no tuve tiempo de desayunar.

Para llegar hasta allí decidí tomar un medio de transporte que no había …

This morning after a quick breakfast in our hotel, we took a walk to Trafalgar Square. The sun was shining and it was quite warm, so not only were the sites enjoyable, but the temperature was just right. When we reached Trafalgar Square (after getting only a little lost), the area was full of people taking in the sights and performers entertaining …

Not bad stuff a lot of good stuff its just there is so much to do in this city. Our jobs are going extremely well. Loving it. The days go very quick and we are busy for …

Day 1
The trip started a nightmare - broken suitcase, train door closing on Rach and my scarf getting soaked. Things picked up with a Nando's though and then we began the long haul (1.5 miles) from London Euston to the hotel, made a slog by the lack of wheels on the suitcase! After checking in and getting changed we headed out to do some sight …

The first weekend after spring break we decided we needed a rest from traveling so we stayed in Florence and enjoyed the beautiful weather and attempted to get ahead on some school work but the next weekend we were back at it and on our way to London. I flew out thursday night with my roommate Bri and we both had friends that were studying abroad …
