The weekend in london

In order to go to London I had to sacrifice both a test, and a pratical educational lesson...but oh well, I had fun!

Wednesday
We got up early to get to the plane, it was some morning stress but we made it just in time for the boarding, and me and Toine also got the seats over the wings that has the most leg space yay! In the evening we went to see the musical "We will rock you" It was awesome!

Thursday
We made this the "shopping" day. We took quite a long tour around Harrod's and looked at all the snobb designer things there hehe...waaaay expensive! Later on that day we had tickets booked for a flight in the millenium eye (the big ferris wheel for those who does not know). It was nice and we got a great sight from there! We finished of the day with a walk to Big Ben, Trafalgar Square and a walk along half of Oxford street to see the Christmas lights. I don't think I have to mention that we were all feeling very tired and sore after that hehe.

Friday
We designated this day, the sightseeing day. We went to see the guards at buckingham palace, we went to the Towern, and Tower Bridge...Here we had some lunch... thats a funny story. The food was not very tasty, the chicken was so dry it felt like cement in the stomach and the service was rather...well...not the best. We had to wait 15 minutes before we even got the bill to pay so my dad waited alone inside at the table and everyone else went out... When me and Toine went back in my dad had just gotten the check... Toine took out the money and basicly threw it on the table, and we left in a hurry...laughin...why?! haha they gave the wrong check! hahaha we had 6 people eating and we only had to pay for one plate of food and one drink! It became cheap lunch and the joke of the whole weekend! We continued the day with a long walk to the millenium bridge (as seen on harry potter), St. Pauls Cathedral, from there we took the bus to oxford street and looked at some more christmas things! We got stuck on Primark for a little while also, waaaaay cheap clothes that also actually looked good! I found out there is also a Primark in Rotterdam in the Netherlands!

Saturday
The day we had to go home. We spent this day looking at the ancient egyptian mumies on the Brittish Museum, then took the bus to the airport, and went home! Home sweet home!
