London!

My trip started with a two day visit to London. We started out exploring Piccadilly circus and a getting a few drinks at a  british pub.

 

Along one of the main streets, Soldiers were practicing for a large celebration next week. There were hundreds of guys on horses (just like the parade after the royal wedding).

We even stopped by the National Gallery. I was really interested in the paintings by Van Goh and some the impressionist style paintings. There were some big name pieces in there, and the museum was free!


Friday night we went to the club Fabric. A bunch of people heard that Fabric is in the top ten clubs in the world, and we decided to splurge since we had so little time. The club was insane! There were speakers blasting music from the floor, fog making it impossible to see past a few feet and rooms that didn’t seem to end. We got pulled up onto stage and danced a bunch with some very drunk, very silly British boys. We were all so jet lagged, and exhausted that we only stayed for a few hours, but I thought it was worth it!

The next day we woke up early and had a tour of London. Our tour guide gave us a crash course on British history and showed us every part of the city possible. After I got lunch at a pub and then CRASHED. I slept from 2:00 pm to 3:30 am the next morning.

We met downstairs at 4:00 am and headed off to the airport to go to Barcelona. I enjoyed London a lot, but it was cold and overcast. I also have a soft spot for any country where I can speak Spanish, so I was really excited to get to Spain.
