Day 12
I can’t believe it’s over, but the tour was so much fun. And I suggest that if you have the ability to travel with a set tour it is much easier than trying to plan your own. They take care of transportation, food (all breakfasts and most dinners for me), and get you a fast pass into the places that you want to go. I definitely would not have been able to see everything that I did if I had tried to do this on my own.
We went to the Tower of London today. It didn’t live up to the excitement that the rest of my trip had been. But we walked around a bit, and eventually made our way over to see the crowned jewels. I don’t know what it was, maybe I was just overly tired, or had seen so many spectacular things in such a short time, but the jewels weren’t as breathtaking as I thought they were going to be. Don’t get me wrong, thinking about the crown jewels and the fact that people actually own those is amazing. But it just didn’t amaze me like everything else did.
Nothing too special today. Went out to an Italian restaurant that Mom wanted to go to, and the food was very good. And finally got back to the room to pack which was a nightmare. Found out that I was only allowed 1 checked bag when earlier I was told I would have two. And then I was running out of weight room to pack everything. It was a whole big stressful disaster. But everything is packed and ready to go. Or at least as ready as it’s going to get!
Day 13
Went to Wimbledon today since Mom and Dad love tennis so much. Of course the train would break down and the doors wouldn't shut just at the moment that the downpour started. And of course the heavy rain would stop the moment the other train came by to pick us up. I blame Mom's bad luck... But anyways, I have to admit, it is pretty cool to be able to say I was there. It is a much smaller place than I was expecting. I guess with no one else being there, all the open space is deceiving.
Got to see the court where Isner and Nicolas Mahut played their 70-68 match. AAAAAAND I got to sit in the seat where Rafael Nadal would sit when he would get interviewed after a match <3 <3 <3 <3. After that we headed off to the airport to sleep over til my flight at 6:30am. The taxi driver was crazy and he was absolutely flying down the roads. But hey, it was exciting and he didn't crash.
Sleeping at the airport wasn't as bad as I was expecting. Carrying around my big winter coat helped a lot since it was a bit softer to sleep on than the plain floor. But just as I was laying down to try and sleep, the guy started to power wash the floor. Thanks a lot dude. Oh well, I got a few naps during that time. Then off to my gate, leaving Mom and Dad behind and off on my own to get through security with my suitcase, hand luggage, laptop, purse and 2 coats. Let me just say I still moved faster than some people only dealing with two bags. Puhlease...
Nothing spectacular during my layover. Though I was quite upset that I couldn't go shopping cause I couldn't leave my bags unattended and I got really tired carrying everything through the stores. God forbid I broke something, I would never hear the end of it from Mom. But I plan on stopping back in Poland some other time during my stay here, and hopefully see more of it than
just the airport.
