President London

This was my first 'real' trip to Europe. Flew into Gatwick with Air Transat; it was an absolutely horrendous flight. I swear, there was something wrong with the climate control on that plane. We were trying to sleep - it was an overnight flight - but kept getting woken up alternately by chills and sweating.

Got into London at about 10am, took the train and then the tube to the hotel. All I remember is being dead tired and desperate to reach the hotel and sit down. We got there, and fo...

Para evitar pagar la entrada para conocer la Catedral de Wesmister, podes ir en el horario de la misa, donde para acudir al servicio no se paga el ingreso. Eso si, deberás aguantarte todo el servicio de una misa anglicana!!! JAJAJA Aunque les cuento que fue muy divertido...

I gotta say, flying British airways is the way to go! I was very impressed. Even in economy class, I received a pillow and blanket, slippers, eye mask(for the overnight flight), toothbrush and toothpaste(which we all kept as souvenirs), and earphones for the in-flight entertainment. What a loot bag! To top it all of, we got fed! When we departed at 11 at night, I didn't think I would even get a bag of peanuts, let alone 2 great meals. Dinner began with smoked salmon, followed by herb-roasted...

More adventure in the form of a full day excursion to Hampton Court Palace for us. We took the train out of the city, and as we travelled further, we could see the Palace come into view across the Thames. It was like a big red castle, with less height. Impressive, but nothing awe-inspiring. We walked across the bridge from the station, and posed for a couple of pictures out front before we split up and toured the Palace on our own. Most of us made our way straight to the hedge Maze on the fa...

A busy day, we began with a fun-filled ride on the Underground to central London, and Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum. What a tourist trap! The first big room is filled with all the major celebrities at the time, so you feel like you're at the Oscars, and people are taking so many pictures, you could swear that the paparazzi decided to show up as well. Further along are the more classic celebrities, like the Beatles and Micheal Jackson. Of course, the Queen and her royal court are there, too. Th...
