Day 1 - London

Well what a day!!!!!

Arrived in London at 7:20 this morning 

Got to the youth hostel at about 10-10:30 

Very slow start because no one really knew what the plan was and how we were getting from place to place!! (Not fun) spent a while deciding which bus would take us where (ended up taking the tube after much bus research) :P

(Oh and we bought some pastries bread ham and cheese some where in there, a nice typical holiday lunch of ham and cheese baguettes)

So now the day starts to get interesting 

Got the tube to the river and dawdled there a bit (looking at more busses) :P

I finally managed to get us moving in the direction of Big Ben and Westminster Abby which was good (yay some progress in the day)

Big Ben was spectacular the clock face was so detailed and the whole building was really cool :D (the building are all so old and some really new it's awesome) (wow I have such good English) 

Anyway had lunch in a park by the river (which I can't be bothered getting off my bed to find out the name of) and took some more pictures of the houses of parliament!! Such a cool building 

Ok soooo then we went to Westminster Abby and had a nice little debate about if we should go in or not. We went in and it really very interesting (except that I got sore feet) made our way to Trafalgar Square but there was a huge gay marriage parade on so we could get through! :O it was amazing how many people there was!!!! 

Eventually got back to youth hostel after investigating the ferries on the river and shopping for the rest of our days in London! So yeah I'm a bit tried and I don't think I mentioned but I hurt my wrist again while playing football with my friends and its a bit painful at the moment!!! 

Will post again tomorrow
