Just in case you're in any doubt that I'm having fun, here's what I did in London:
Saw the Natural History Museum and learnt how volcanoes and mountains are formed
You can go up, but don't expect to get out again...not with all the wonders to see!
Saw art galleries and many paintings by artists like Monet (not to be confused with Manet, though I saw his work, too), Da Vinci, Picasso, and many more.
I had a good breakfast
I enjoyed it a lot
Got lost and found my way again
Took a bus and accidentally saw a local's tour of London
Saw all the main attractions without going on a tour
I saw London Eye
Saw Cirque du Soleil (I'd booked tickets only hours before the show)
Afterwards, saw a guy about to cross the road and he did an elegant side step with his arms out to protect his friends from the oncoming traffic. It was a very good impression of the sorts of moves we saw in the show
An extract from the show I saw
Had The Best Hot Chocolate Ever (quality chocolate with your choice of spices)
Saw the Hipster part of London and wished my stomach wasn't full from the hot chocolate so that I could fit in the scrumptious market foods (but there were so many that I probably couldn't have decided anyway)
Saw some of London's finest graffiti
I call him The Gate Eater
I call him The Traffic Watcher
Stayed in an 8 person room in a hostel all by myself and got to walk around in my grey long johns without feeling self-conscious (these were the ones that sagged at the bottom)
Had breakfast with ducks, pelicans, and swans
"Oh yes, splendid day. And you?"
Took London's underground tube
(the peak hour trip is not included in this fun category)
Heard many talented buskers. The sound echoes nicely in the underground tunnels
This tunnel reminded me of something out of an 80s sci fi movie
Saw many amazing poets at a poetry night, and got to talk to a lot of them afterwards
I bought all the poetry books and EPs on sale. I have no regrets; they're as awesome as the live performances
I had a snog. It was yum
Shall I keep you in suspense? Could be fun. Make your guess in the comment section
I found out that policemen in London do actually wear these hats!
snog is totally frozen yoghurt ;-) pretty delicious. The one I went to was near covent garden. :-) I assume by now they've got a few more stores hanging around
