A couple weeks ago i went to London with some girls from here - well they are actually from America but we all met at school. Janelle and i left on Friday afternoon and were joined Saturday night by Jen. The first night Janelle and i spent in a random hostel somewhere in London. We didnt really know what we were getting into but figured it was just for the night. The next morning we moved to our other hostel which was a short walk away from all the touristy stuff in London. Saturday we spent the day wondering around London taking pictures of everything. We went to the National Gallery and saw some amazing art by Van Gogh, Monet, Da Vinci, and others. But i think most of our time was spent on Oxford and Regent street where all the shopping was. Everything was decked out for Christmas and the streets were packed with people which made it all feel so festive. That night Jen flew in and we spent Sunday showing her everything we had seen the day before as well as visiting a market, speakers corner, Buckingham Palace, and lots of other places. After more exploring on Monday we went out to dinner at the (original) Hard Rock Cafe and then to see "Wicked" front row. It was amazing, i already knew i liked the music but the play itself was super great too! Tuesday morning Janelle flew back to Belfast and Jen and i spent the morning walking through St.James and Hyde parks before we came back also. The trip was really fun and im so glad we got the chance to go!
