Cruisin' to England! London free days


What side of the street are we on?!
After The Netherlands, we took an overnight cruise ship to London! The boat rocked us to sleep as we ventured across the North Sea to our next location. In London, we were given a bus tour and two free days to experience it ourselves. We walked all around the city, which seemed more condensed than Paris. But it still tired us to walk everywhere we went while taking pictures of Big Ben or the London Eye. Westminster Abby along the river was also a major tourist attraction.
However, by this time most of us were exhausted of seeing the sites. It was all starting to blend in together with the other locations we had already seen. It was all brick and mortar to me and we just wanted to be able to relax a little. So, we got our fish and chips then went to see the Broadway production, Wicked. I will definitely have to give London another chance though. It was cold and rainy which discouraged us even more from walking the city. The farther we go along the program the more desensitized we are becoming to the artwork, the gold leaf, and the ancient structures. A change of scenery is definitely needed! India is next and it will take 11 total hours of travel to get there!
