Today is saturday, but I'm updating for Friday because we didn't make it to the internet place. Thursday we went to the Tower of London, which is this huge castle by the river Thames. There are SO many things there. The coolest was definitely the queens crown jewels. There were tons, and we got to see them. You aren't supposed to photograph them, but I was feeling rebelious and did anyway.
That was cool in itself, but then we decided to go to Wimbledon, where the tennis tournament is. Wimbledon itself is a suburb of London, and it took us about an hour on the Underground to get there. We utilized this time for a much needed nap.
Once there, we wandered through neighborhoods and asked the friendly British people where the heck we were going. We finally found it, and went to the store to buy Katie's little brother something, but everything there was ridiculous. A tshirt was £24, which is almost $50! We then took the underground back to Hyde Park, the biggest park in London. We got an ice cream cone and laid around four about an hour or two. We've been to 20 parks here, it's awesome.
Then we went back to London Pub, our favorite food hangout we've found. Ate there, and headed to Picadilly Circus at night, and took some pictures. There were seriously 100,000 people outside. They close the streets so people can drink. We walked past this gay bar, and there was a huge line, so we didn't go in. There was a guy with makeup and a green speedo passing out fliers. Katie declined to introduce herself to him.
I'm going to add pictures on Day four's post...
