We booked 2 nights and dropped of our luggage, Got food (We were dying to get it) then walked around for a bit - saw an interesting Book store, A Sherlock Holmes museum, A quick walk through Hyde Park and then back home to the hostile.
We got into the room (Which was Co-Ed - so that was interesting) But we started talking to this Aussie girl, Sara, and we just struck it up real well and had a great conversation. We took a break around 6 and went to go make dinner(some pasta that Nathan made this awesome sauce for - very good) Then we ended up back in the room and ended up talking to Sara until 11ish. It was alot of fun.
The next morning we woke up for breakfast and then went on the walking tour of london with Sara, and thats also where we met another Aussie, Evert, and those two were the two we basically spent the rest of london with.
This tour was much bigger than the one in Dublin, which I wasnt huge on but it was ok...
We were able to end up hitting the Buckingham Palace for the changing of the guard which was cool and there was ATON of people
Oh and unfortunately there were no guards we could mess with and attempt to make them smile or anything :-(
We saw multiple other things on that walking tour - the WW2 Museum, Big Ben / London Tower.
After we were done we went back to the hostile and took a nap because we were exhausted - we didn't sleep well on the bus ride to london and just decided to get a good nap in.
Then for the rest of the night we really just relaxed and enjoyed some good time/talk with the Aussies :P
The next morning we went to Harrods - which was an awesome - really high end shopping store in London and we played the game "Whats the most Expensive thing we can find in this store" - I won with 187,000 Pounds - For a watch...really??
Well during that period we lost nathan - and spent 30-45 minutes trying to find him :-/ We ended up not being able to find him so The Aussies, Sara and Evert, and I adventured out and went to Hyde Park. Which was a lot of fun because these two Aussies Never saw a squirrel before, so once they saw one it was priceless! So we easily spent 1-2 hours in that park just having fun with the squirrels.
ONe thing that was alot of fun was that while we were there a squirrel came up to me and climbed on my leg as if i was a tree!! And that actually happened 2ce! Sara got a photo of it so Hopefully I'll be able to post that soon!
After that was over we were done with that - we went to a few stores, then we decided to leave Sara by herself to continue doing the shopping (Kinda an obsession of hers apparently) and Evert and I went back to our hostiles.
I was able to do my laundry there and take a short nap. Nathan Finally came back at that point and we had dinner / went to starbucks so we could get online. Then for the rest of the night we just spent some more time with the Aussies and Packing. Sara Flew back to Australia the next day and me and Nathan were going to Oxford the next day.
The next day - we took Sara to the Station where she grabbed a cab - We put our luggage in the Luggage room in our Hostile then walked around, Saw the London Bridge, London Tower, The Marketplace there, The Globe theater, the Tate Modern, and the St Pauls Cathedral. After that was over we went back to the Marketplace for Lunch - I had a Kangaroo Buger :D Hmmm) and then went back to the Hostile while we waited for the Bus to Oxford (At 7).
We got to Oxford - Did some more wandering(In the rain! - which it was actually pretty warm rain) before we found a hostile
