London!!!

So, I am Finally in London!!! getting here was very easy and the plane ride went really well, considering that was a part i was worried about. i sat in the section right behind first class, so there was a huge gap and we had soo much leg room which was really nice, they layover went smoothly, we got our luggage and then got on the next flight and werent rushed at all, and right when we arrived in Heathrow, the first thing i saw at baggage claim was my bright pink suitcase which made me soo happy that it wasnt lost!!!... Then we get to our first day, wow! what a fiasco, we couldnt find our tour guide at the airport and after 45 minutes of waiting a man came and said to get on a bus and then we left and went around to the opposite side of the airport to get the other tour group, when we got there they driver got a call and said the group was back at the other spot so we had to drive around the airport again, and Heathrow is quite a big airport. We got to hour hotel eventually and put all our stuff in one room so we could start with our tour right away and not waste any time. we visited trufalgar squares, I cant remember much about it because we were so rushed to time (thanks to our tour guide ordering us child train tickets and realizing none of us were children!) So all i really remember were a bunch of statues of a guy named nelson.. cool stuff!! So after that we went to picadally circus. Picadelly circus is like times square but in London, I could have enjoyed it more if it were'nt for those damn pigeons crash diving at my face!! (you would have just LOVED it there mom!) We then did a little bit more sight seeing and then went to dinner at the Ye Ole Cock Tavern, we had fish and chips, but i was so exhausted i didnt really have an appetitte. The underground train ride from our hotel to the center of London is about 35 minutes and i was soo tired when i got back to the hotel i just crashed and had the best sleep Ever!!
Today has been ALOT better, our tour director is more organized and we were not rushed for time. We did a bus tour of london and saw the major sites, parliament, st.pauls cathedera,etc. then we saw the changing of the guards which was sooo cool, they were dressed so cute with their red uniforms and fuzzy hats and were yelling out comands. After that, we were done for the day with tours and had free time the rest of the day. wayzata decided to have a picnic in the park. we went to a market and got food and then sat down in this huge park.. (blanking on the name) it was sooo nice, i could do that every day!! After lunch we went shopping at harrods (biggest department store in the world) and other shops in london. I made my first big purchase of the trip at covenant garden... can anyone guess what it is??
...a ring!! of course haha i got it at this cute little market shop for 30 pounds it is a spoon from the 1940's and the vendor fitted it around my finger. I LOVE it : ) After that we went to the hardrock cafe and had burgers and then half our group split up to do the london eye and half went back to the hotel. So thats about it for day 2 in london, i am having a great time and have lots of stories : ) (sorry for all the spelling errors and such there is a line for the computer haha ) much luv : ) Hay
