After a 60 Pound taxi ride from Heathrow to our Hotel (by the way, the pound is even WORSE than the Euro, so 60 is 120 USD...F THAT). So we got in, we got all settled and went and found one of those open air bus tours that takes you around to all the major sites in London! We saw the London Bridge, the London Tower, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Parliament Building, Fleet Street, St Paul's Cathedral, London Dungeon, Westminster Bridge, Abbey Road, BBC Headquarters, etc etc etcetc, I will post tons of pics once we get home in the next day or so.
We came back, Pat and BJ went to sleepy time like babies :) I stayed up for awhile because I, for some reason, never sleep. I hate it. ugh.
I watched UK's Big Brother (my Mom and Sis love the US version) and it was amazingly crazy! They show nudity here and the language is not edited for TV. lol makes it much more fun to watch!
Today we slept in a little bit and we went and saw the "Musical Sensation" WICKED in London's West End! The show was AWESOME. My mom and I saw the show in Seattle and this one was a little better because the cast was awesome and second row, with an unobstructed view is really hard to beat! Pat and BJ loved the show. Pat kept saying "I kept getting chills, I couldn't help it"
It was cool to hear...the show is pretty awesome because it is so BIG. People on wires flying around, the whole set moving and fire..etc etc. Unlike the touring show we saw in Seattle, this one is set in this theater for a long time, so the whole theater is all decked out in Wicked stuff and the stage is all set, without having to worry about breaking down and moving.
It was great!
Afterwards Pat got his Fish and Chips, BJ had his yesterday and was not happy....Pat liked his today I think. We came home, grabbed a little bit of booze and just chilled in the room, watching the German/Turkey match in our room!!! Germany won ... an amazing match! So it is Germany in the finals against the winner between Russia and Spain tomorrow! I am pumped, I hope I can get the matches in the states.
We then threw on some music television here. It is amazing you guys, here in Europe, they actually play MUSIC VIDEOS!!!! It is not like the US MTV where it is all reality tv. it is nice!
We head home Thursday, we leave London at like 6ish...land at about 8pm.. so technically it is an almost 10 hour flight, but we take off at 6:20PM on Thursday and land at 7:55PM on Thursday! So basically lose no time :)
I will post more about the whole trip and please keep reading the blog because I will be adding pics all week and weekend!!!
*btw, I love London and am so excited to come back with more time and ESPECIALLY, more money* :)
