Sunny Sunday Morning

Hello again!

It’s the middle day of our free three-day weekend here in London, and today started with me being able to sleep in until 8:30am! I now wake up every morning excited for an egg at breakfast even though before this trip I would never eat an egg for breakfast. We’ve been here for almost 2 weeks and it feels like we’ve either done a lot of the things I planned on doing or they’re coming up on our group itinerary, so thinking of stuff to do (and then deciding what to do) in our free time has been a bit tricky.

Faith, Cassidy and I decided to go to Regent’s Park to check out the flowers and waterfall there. It was a short tube ride away and Regent’s Park was a place I had yet to visit. Luckily, it was a nice sunny and breezy morning, so we enjoyed strolling through the park!

Maethe met up with us and we all decided we should eat, so we went to Buckingham Palace to find a place near there. During our travel there, it went from a sunny morning to a rainy afternoon! We wanted to go to a cute cafe & tea shop that I had been to before, but it was full. Instead, we split up to satisfy all of our food cravings—Cassidy and Maethe got Japanese food and Faith and I went to “Pronto a Mangia” where I got some pasta and she got an omelette. 

We then made our way to Primark to do some shopping and since we all wanted to eat something sweet, we got some ice cream and crepes on the way back to the hotel. My night ended by going out for chips and a drink at a nearby pub. I’m getting both excited and sad that this trip is more than halfway over! I’m so happy with all of the things we’ve seen and accomplished so far, but even more excited for the things ahead.
