'Ello!!!

This weekend Laura and I were off to London to visit a bunch of cool people from Ithaca. Our flight was in the afternoon on Friday, and after landing in Gatwick and getting to the apartment, Laura, Seth, Luke, Laura, Mary, and I chilled for a bit before we finally went out for Indian food. 

On Saturday we had the grand tour of London, and hit up just about every site there is to see. We went through Hyde Park and saw a cool Peter Pan statue, then we were off to Buckingham Palace and Westminister Abbey and Parliament and lots and lots more. Eventually we headed over to the Borough Market and got a LOT of free food from stands and bought some good brownies and toasted cheese sandwiches. Then we headed over to the London and Tower Bridges and the Tate Museum. 

After that, Seth and I went to the London Eye and then Spamalot. The show was really really funny, it was basically a huge spoof on King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. After the show we tried to find someplace to eat, but no one wanted to serve us so we eventually just went back to the flat.

Sunday we got up bright and early and headed to Platform 9 3/4 and then some more markets. Our flight was in the early afternoon, so we had to get to the airport relatively early to check in. The line took FOREVER to get through, so we barely got through in enough time to get our flight. But we did, and then we got back to Sevilla by 7:30. It was pretty nice because it was still daylight because this weekend was daylight savings time, and it was even nicer because it was actually warm.
