I'd never seen a squirrel before this. I practically died.

(And yes I know Stone Henge technically isn't in London)

My goodness, in the time I've been to Europe I've walked more than I have in my entire life. In Paris on our 'sightseeing day' we walked 22kms. In London on our sightseeing day we walked 18kms. My dad suggested maybe we catch the tube between sights, but me being so stubborn decided it would be fun to walk from one end of London to the other...big mistake. With the constant diversions and blocked roads that resulted in a lot of backtracking I felt like I had waged war with the city of London! At one stage it took us twenty minutes to walk one block!

Anyway so after a LOT of sights and a LOT of walking, my London experience was officially complete. But I'd like to think I won the overall battle with London, I saw, I walked, I shopped, I conquered.

Thanks London.

Thanks for our cancelled hotel room, our cancelled rental car, buying internet only to have it not work, being hassled out of a restaurant with food still on our plate and nearly getting food poisoning from the slew of inedible food and beverages we were served. Thanks for that London, we really appreciate it.

But seriously on a positive note; Topshop and squirrels. What more could you possibly ask for? In comparison to the other cities I've been to, London wasn't my favourite. Brick Lane Market was closed when we were there and the weather was pretty lousy, so unfortunately I didn't get to experience the London that I'd been expecting. But all in all still a great experience that I was super blessed to have. And I don't want you to all think I'm ungrateful because of my whining, it was simply something I needed to get off my chest!

To be completely honest this whole trip has been a bit of a dream. Never in my right mind would I think my parents would spoil me so much and give me the funds that would allow me to go on this once in a lifetime trip. Unfortunately this probably means a lifetime of servitude...but oh well, can't have everything right?

These are only just the beginning of the gargantuan amount of photos we took, or more specifically, had taken of me. I'll show them to you all bit by bit, I wouldn't want to over saturate you all with photos!
