Seriously, I could not get enough of London. I had a serious shopping problem here. I was doing so good, until we got to London.. I mean their Nike store was HUGE, how could I not? Dallin was also a big supporter of Nike, so we both just went and spent hours in there, deciding on what shoes he needed to get (obviously my vote was for the Kobe's, which he got) and what clothes I needed to get. It was a great time. I also fell in love with a store in London called Jack Wills. It was amazing.. but I do not have a shopping problem. I promise.
On the third day in London, I felt like I was getting the hang of the whole city and where everything was located. It was so nice to be able to stay in one city for more than two nights. We decided to spend the day at Portabello Road markets. This street was so fun to walk through and shop at all the little shops! We spent a good portion of our day at this market. Of course we had to stop and get some nourishment in order to get through all of the shops, so we decided to grab some waffles and gelato. It was so good. After the markets we went to Pret A Manger and then had our first Ben's Cookies for dessert. Those cookies are seriously unreal. At night I went and saw Wicked with a couple of friends from my group. I love that musical! The music and acting is amazing!
Our next day in London we went to Buckingham Palace to see the Changing of the Guards. After that we went to church at the Hyde Park chapel. Church was great! After church we went and rented bikes and rode them through Hyde Park and the Kensington Gardens. It was so fun to be able to see the city from a bike, the park is so beautiful. At the end of our bike ride we went to Abbey Road and HAD to recreate the album cover from The Beatles. This was a lot more difficult then we thought it would be. The stupid cars kept on getting in our way. rude. After our fail of trying to attempt to recreate this picture we decided to go to Big Ben and The London Eye. We had a photoshoot at these two places, it was so fun! After the photos we went to dinner at Giraffe, which was incredible, and then went over to have FHE in Hyde Park.
Our final day in London was very calm and relaxing, we went shopping in the morning and then met up with some people from our group to have Wagamama's for lunch. After we got back to our hotel, we took a quick nap before the John Mayer concert at The O2 Arena. John Mayer is so good, but live he was seriously unreal. The aftermath of the concert was not so great though. For some reason on our way home I got so sick. I was up all night. It was awful. There is seriously nothing worse than not being home while you are sick. But seriously all in all, London was fabulous. Definitely one of my favorite places on our trip!
