A Tale of Two Cities and One County

Here follows the tale of our MASSIVE TOURIST DAY. Unashamedly checking all the boxes on the must-do-in-london box given to every human being at birth.

Let me take you back to the third day of our tour. We started off by heading to the Globe Theatre, on the other side of the "wibbily wobboly" bridge, where we all marveled at its thatched glory. Greeting us was an incredible eccentric thespian with slicked back hair who went by the name of "Callum", ready to take us on a whirlwind tour of the 16th century Globe Theatre. (just kidding, it was actually rebuilt in 1996!). He was the best tour guide ever.

After checking out the Globe Museum, we headed down to the Embankment to catch some lunch from our favourite food franchise, 'EAT.' Ricky, the self named 'ladies man' of the group, managed to attract a gaggle of English girls who "needed" our "directional advice" ;)

We carried on down the Embankment past an incredible amount of living statues, to be smacked in teh face by the international tourist icon that is Big Ben. We took many a photo's and continued onto Westminster Abbey. However, we encountered a vocal group of Sri Lankan rioters who were protesting the "imminent genocide of the Tamil people". 

Westminster Abbey has a lot of tombs. like seriously.

We waltzed on down to Downing Street, where unfortunately Gordan Brown (and the dozens of Riot Squads protecting him from the Sri Lankians) could not accommodate us that day.

We then saw Buckingham Palace and its ENORMOUS gates, but we know why the Queen never stays there, if you know what i mean. She only has like 56 rooms to choose from. I know right?

Later that night, the team split into two groups: One group who wanted to go see some musicals on the West End, and others who wanted to go... shopping at Westfield. It looks a lot like the one next to school but with 4 layers and more urban clothing stores. On the subway, the West End group encountered some difficulties, due to our collective in-experience (lack of DJ WYATT). Long story short, we caught three wrong trains and Ricky got left behind.

However, the musicals were extreme. Les Mis was WICKED, Wicked was AWESOME, and Spring Awakening was SPRING AWAKENING. Oops, i mean off tha freakin chain bro.
