London

I went to London again this weekend and had a blast. Amy and I went to Greenwich, Madame Toussard's, on the Thames, and just around the city.

So we went to Greenwich first to stand on the Prime Meridian. Turns out you have to pay to stand on the actual line thing you see in pictures, and since we are college study abroad students, we were not about to pay for that. So we did the next best thing:

Based on the map, I am standing almost directly over the Prime Meridian. Yeah, estimation!

After that, we went on a boat tour on the Thames. It was crazy cool being on the river that is essentially the heart of London. It's definitely the reason why London was/is a huge city. We went under Tower Bridge, which may have been the coolest thing I saw all day:

After that we ended up in Westminster, next to good Ol' Big Ben. We decided to look around for food, and there was reliable information that there was a Five Guys near Covent Garden, which is awesome because the burgers here are so average. It was kinda expensive, so we were just gonna split a small burger. Then we got inside and smelled the restaurant. It smelled EXACTLY like the Five Guys in Naperville. We had to have a proper meal there. MFW I eat a good burger for the first time in months:

So good.

The next day we went to Madame Toussard's, the wax museum. It was pretty cool. About halfway through I got the idea to take selfies with the sculptures. This one was the best by far:

It looks so real (that's Freddie Mercury btw). Here are some others:

The last one is interesting. I was going to have Amy take a picture of Patrick Stewart and me, but we saw this lady taking a picture of him. She was taking forever, and I was about to just get next to the sculpture when we realized that it was also a wax sculpture. We were trolled pretty hard by Madame Toussard's.

That night the storm hit, and literally nothing was different other than the trains were way delayed. However, apparently a few people were killed by the storm, which totally sucks.


I think I'm gonna head to London once more before I leave (or more accurately, before Amy leaves).

So yeah. If you comment or something I can write a post about certain thoughts that you wanna hear. That's if anyone actually reads this far. Which I doubt. I'm definitely talking to myself at this point, so I'll talk to you later, me!
