London!

I made it to London!

The first couple days were spent wandering around the major sights with my father. London makes a huge impact immediately.

We had gorgeous days, which was perfect as we spent a lot of time walking. The photos below are from our first day in London.We walked across a lot of bridges, or more specifically the London Bridge, the Tower Bridge and the Millennium Bridge many times.

Though we were tired from the flight, we tried to stay awake by following the Thames on both sides. The Tower of London was gorgeous, and I have been getting mixed messages on whether to go in or not, so we didn’t go in. We did walk into the lobby of The Globe Theatre but I will be going to a play sometime soon so I will update with details when that approaches.

My favourite part of the day was when we went to dinner at Cote Brasserie overlooking the Thames. It began to rain intensely – luckily we were under the umbrella – but afterwards was the most gorgeous double rainbow. The day ended with a lovely sunset with the big, bright moon in the background.

I am thrilled to be spending the next few months in London, and will try to post as much as possible, about as much as possible.
