Thursday morning we went to the Tower of London (so awesome!). It was definitely worth the 16.50 pounds. We took the tour with one of the Yoemen Warders, Dave, and he was a lot of fun. We got lunch at a market and took it to St. James' park and ate there and sat around for a little while again. And then we decided to go look around Harrods. All I can really say about Harrods is that it was really big. I think the chocolate area was my favorite; I'm pretty sure they had everything you could ever want. We made dinner at the hostel and hung around in the lobby for a while and passed out equally as hard that night.
This morning we switched hostels to one that is probably five times bigger than the one we were at but in a really quiet, small area of town. It's a great area but just kind of far from everything; I think we'll try to stay here for the remainder of our stay just because neither of us wants to move our backpacks again. We went to the Tate Modern after we moved and got through about one and a half exhibits and then got evacuated because of a fire alarm. So we went and had lunch at a pizza place down the road then went and took the tour of the Globe Theatre. The only reason it was worth the 8.50 pounds was because we got to see some actors rehearsing and actually got to help them out some and stand in the yard; it was pretty neat. After all that we went to St. Peters church and just kind of poked our heads in because it's 16 pound to actually go in and look around.
We went to Hyde park for the late afternoon and stayed there for about two hours. I took a nap and got to write some and it was really fun just people watching. There was an older lady there who was not in the best of shape in a string bikini sunbathing and some creeper guy that came up and started talking to her. It was an interesting little soap opera for a while/disgusting watching her in the swim suit. At one point she pulled out another string bikini from her bag and decided that she needed to changer her top to a neon ruffly one...which she proceeded to do...sitting there...with the creeper. Karlene and I were cracking up and so were the french people next to us. It was pretty awesome.
I was pretty home sick the first day we were here. I don't think the sleep deprivation helped at all. I've pretty much gotten over it, but now I'm just really nervous about getting to Paris!
I think we're going to go see the Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging movie that's out here tomorrow morning!
Hope everyone's doing well!
