Westminster Abbey London

Londra este pentru mine cea mai frumoasa destinatie europeana. Cladirile cu arhitectura lor deosebita, monumentele istorice, strazile aglomerate, atmosfera trepidanta din puburi si restaurante, toate acestea iti rasfata privirea si iti ofera o vibratie unica, vibratie pe care aici am intalnit-o pentru prima oara. Londra este inima Angliei, iar eu, …

After a miserable night of sleeping and worrying over all the travel issues yesterday I got no more than 2 hours of sleep so I had Molly up by 530 and we grabbed coffee and pastries and were on our way. We walked to Buckingham Palace and through Hyde Park and then up to Westminster Abbey. The Abbey remarkable... it was weird to think about how man …

After the Camden Markets I headed over to Piccadilly Circus to visit The Original London Tour Company shop and bought a ticket to Les Miserables for tomorrow night and 2 day tours. I also found three other tours that I want to do on my return weekend visits to London (if all goes to plan). I got chatting with the sales lady, who gave me the name of …

is approximately 2 hours on the Tube.

Day 25 - Madrid to London
We caught our flight to London, which was quite short (about 1.5 hours plus time difference), and when we arrived, to no surprise, it was raining and cold. At Luton airport, we had to catch a bus to the regional train, which then took about 45 minutes to Kings Cross station, and then we caught a bus out to our …

We arrived late on Friday after taking a bus to Pisa, flight to Standsted, and finally a bus to London. After the long day and all of that traveling, we still managed to get excited about the city. It reminded us of America with huge shopping centers, Pizza Hut, Starbucks, and best of all..everything was in English! It was definitely a nice break …

Thanksgiving in London was the best idea I have had this semester! The one day out of the semester that I thought I would definitely get homesick went smoothly and I was so happy to be in London that I was not homesick at all. Our journey began early on Wednesday and ended Monday evening. This long weekend was spent with great friends, in a great …

Ello ol chaps! I will say that I am too cheap to pay for Internet. This is why you have not yet heard from me! OI apologize in advance for my excessive use of exclamation marks. After spending three full days in London, I have probably exhausted the word 'WOW'! My second apology - there probably won't be all that many pictures in this blog! No …
