day 15 - before we have to say good-bye

It's our last day in London and there's still so much we haven't seen or done! James was amazing with all the places to see and the tube transfers. It was like having my very own personal tour guide, and he's kinda cute too! The second full day we had, we woke up super early and continued on our tour of London. We went to the Big Ben (it is big!), House of Parliment, Westminster Abbey, the London Eye, stumbled into a Christmas market, took the tube to Notting Hill and then strolled around the original Portabello Road market. It was pretty cool. Then we hopped onto a double decker to get off at the Marble Arch and that's when the shopping began! I picked up a magnet in Portabello Road and then a matching t-shirt at a souvenir shop along the "Robson" street. We went to Primark - a cheap trendy store that Stephanie suggested. It was super cheap and great there. Then we went to Top Shop, man I could have used a few more days in there! We checked out Urban Outfitters as Nat mentioned seeing these eye masks there that has a "FUCK OFF" glued to it. It was funny and I wanted it but we had to leave it in the store as it was too expensive. We then went back home to rest up a little bit.


At the hotel, we bumped into Nat and her friend Melinda. Hung out with them for about 30 minutes and then head back out. One of our last stops was Harrod's. Wow, what an amazing and expensive store! The food area was just amazing. I've never seen anything like it. We also checked out Princess Diana's and Dido's memorial exhibit there. Then we were going to go back to the same pub as the first night but it was packed so we took the tube to Piccadilly Circus for some Aberdeen steaks. It was okay but again expensive. From there we had to call it a night as our wake up call the next morning was at 4:30am!

I'm so sad to say good-bye to beautiful London...hopefully we will get to travel back here another day...
