What happens in London stays in London.

HEYYYY!! so, i just came home a few days ago from London! I had an absolute blast, such a great experience. hmm...i guess i will start with day 1...

Day 1: We departed from a bus from LM to OIA flying out around 6... we were all excited!!! so we borded the plane, i sat next to matt and glenn, with norona in the seat in front of me.. lol. we flew during the night, i didnt get much sleep. the plane food was amazing! lol...

Day 2: arrival in greenwich airport around 7am. We all got on a bus that took us throw the outskirts of London and into Hamersmith, where we stayed at the Novotel. We quickely dropped our stuff off and bored the bus again to Windsor Castle. The architecture was beautiful. we went into St. Georges cathedral which was sooo pretty! London was freezing btw, but we had really good weather! (all pics on fb) after windsor we went back to the hotel for a bad dinner and to rest for the night.

Day 3: We went on a 4 hour tour through london, where we stopped at St. Pauls cathedral...i wish we had stayed there longer, it was an unbelievable site. as u can see, i really enjoyed the historic buildings and architecture...others in the group didnt seem to interested, but w/e, their loss. anyways, we also visitedt he london tower bridge and we saw the changing of the guards and buckingham palace. we ate at the original hard rock cafe. and we also saw big ben!

Day 4: We woke up nice and early and rode the eye of london! amazing sites from way up high! we continued on and visited the London tower. and it was here, that while my group was inside a cafe having coffee that i stepped outside with my chaperone to use the pottie, that when we came back we saw 3 british guards standing there. Now, the guards are not aloud to speak or move out of line, so i stood next to the guards while my chaperone was about to take a picture...but, the guard suddenly turned and gave me a huge hug for the pic!!!! he was soooo cute! and as i was walking away, the guard called back to me and he gave me a new years kiss!!!!! it was amazing. i was star struck. i got a british kiss.

Day 5: New Years Parade! It was amazing! sooo many people stand in the streets to watch and tape the various performers in the parade! i loved it! it was sooo cool! so many people cheering us on! amazing!!!! Later that night, i got ready for the New years party for all the highschoolers a the hotel! I looked hottt! lol. but really, i did. :) i headed over...and well...lets just say what happens in london stays in london. lol. hahah, nah, i wont give much detail on here, but i met some nice guys, and danced with a california boy i met, Derek, who was a zac effron look a like! we had alot of fun! and when 12am struck...welll, lets just say i got a new years kissies...tehehhe :D i must say, it was an absolute amazing night. I didnt have a worry on mind. No regrets whatsoever. i had a blast. ...idk, for once, like..ughh..this is odd for me to say this, but aksjdfhwer...ughh, i actually felt good about myself that night, like idk, i felt pretty. ugh, never mind, this is all too hard to put into words...

Day 6: We ventured 2 hours away to Stratford upon avon, also known as shakespeares birthplace. And i must say, this is one of two of my favorite places we visited. The town was soo cute, i loved the little shops, and we walked through shakespeares house and then to Trinity Church, where shakespeare is buried happily. This quote is layed upon shakespeares grave, it is said that he was suppose to be buried at westminister abbey.

i was slightly upset however that we didnt stay too long here in stratford. sooo many places to visit here, so much cream tea, which is famous there and little boutiques and such.

We continued in to Warwick castle.

Day 7: not sure i remember all too much about today.. ;/ but we did visit harrods at night, and matt bought a pair of adidas there. lol. ohh and we ate at garfunkels and had traditional fish and chips! it was soo tasty! and i had the best mocha cappuchino cream ever there! we ended up missing curfew that night...haha

Day 8: I woke up early to wish the "mayors of sexytown" farewell. Derek, shane and jeremy, miss u guys! we then visited westminister abbey, where many important people are buried included darwin! we then departed to my my other favorite place, Covent Gardens. I love it. The street performers were very cool, and the market was soo cute. i loved it, we ate at this italian pizza place where this cute italian made my pizza! then as we walked the market a french man made me a crepe with nutella and cream! love.... lol. then we ventured to the british museum, say the rosetta stone and didnt have much time here. we made our way back to the hotel to get ready and dressed up for the play Wicked! The play was soooo amazing! i loved it! the theatre was sooo cool! and the show was outstanding, and the live band was to perfection!

Day 9: early in the morning, around 2am, about 10 of us had planned to tape noronas door shut with duck tape, cause over the past week he had taped our doors to ensure we didnt sneak out...so myself, alex, chessy, alexis, sean, daneil, glenn, and others duck tapped his door. it was amazing, but he still hasnt said anything about it. lol. so after getting little sleep, i woke up around 5 and we set off on the plane home. this day, if i may, was HELL. I got soo incrediabley sick on the plane ride home. it was miserable. We arrived back around 7 and i had to get ready for school...i was sooo sick and tookk lots of medicine. ;)

the next day... school this day was helllll.. i felt and looked like crap. soo sick. and i still am. omg. this is bad. i feelll horrible...asdkjlfhwerioajsdfjasdf;j...and im in a bad mood. lol. but w/e

anyways, basically, i had an awesome adventure in london. I want to live there! i loved the cities beauty, the old historic places! if i ever go back though, which i do hope i do, i do wish that i go with a close group of friends or family, cause the band group was way too big, and therefore lots of time was wasted takeing role, and doing lots of waiting for slow people and irresponsible people. but i enjoyed the trip nonetheless.

now i gotta go attemt at some homework...see how that goes, im sick as a dog. omg. i feel sooa ijsdfkjweroasjdfk.

anyways, with much love and laughter, LB
