Ello Guvna - Day 10

Ah, the ability to sleep in. Wake up call was at 8 this morning, and we left Paris at a leisurely 9:45. Boarded the Eurostar, and I got my passport stamped from France and England as we passed through customs!! The train travels about 300 km which equals somewhere around 180 mph! It made the 3 hour ride a bit more pleasant, but I still managed to sleep during parts of it. We gained an hour for entering England, so until the 24^th I will only be 5 hours ahead of you and not 6 anymore. But then sadly for me, I will lose 2 hours as I fly to Lithuania. The drawbacks of traveling…

We didn’t have anything planned as a group for today, other than going to see one of the London shows. But Mom and Dad opted out of that, so we took another walk into the city to see all the surrounding buildings and stuff. Our hotel is situated in a perfect location as our walk to Big Ben is about 2 minutes. And there was this guy who bends wire into photo frames with your name or whatever you want written on it. It was so cool!

Dinner was at The Albert, which is a cozy little pub about 20 minutes from the hotel. You walk in, seat yourself and go order everything up at the bar. Now, I’m hoping the bar was carding anyone that looked under the age of 25, because if I don’t look over 18 by now I’m going to be really mad… I had the traditional fish and chips, and have to say I wasn’t overly impressed. But it was a nice dinner out, and we enjoyed ourselves.

Took a stroll down to Buckingham Palace, where the Queen usually resides when she’s not off on holiday. I will be seeing more of that tomorrow. And guess what… I had my first squirrel sighting today!! Exciting, isn’t it? So today was a pretty laid back and relaxing day. Tomorrow will be quite busy as it is the last day of my tour around Europe :(.
