Well, today started rough. We did not wake up early cuz SOMEONE is sick (Alison). So we missed the changing of the guards, and checked out at exactly 11am... Took the underground over to our next hostel, St. Christophers. We were able to store our luggage but not check in yet, so we grabbed lunch at the attached Belushi's bar. After eating we headed back out into London for Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, Queen Victoria Memorial, the Briti...

Today was awesome! We slept in a bit, grabbed lunch, then bought day passes for the Tower of London and an underground ticket. We got to the tower around 130pm and stayed until 520 or so... I took tons of pictures :) We then sat outside the Tower Bridge (the actual "London bridge" is nothing special, it's the Tower Bridge that looks so cool) eating cornish ice cream cones (romantic, I know) After that there was a Grim Reapers walking tour starting at 6 so we w...

We made it! Our first night in London wasn't necessarily the safest (sorry, family) but we survived with no hassles other than the horrifically delayed bus and no sleeping arrangement.

The nice man brought us to a hostel first (no luck) then the cafe (much luck) where we ate and drank coffee until around 3am or so. We en...

Happy birthday, momma!!! June 30th! So, yesterday we failed horribly... We went on the walking tour and all but then we napped... For hours. We did get laundry done (yaay, clean clothes!) and eventually booked a bus ticket to London. We missed the ghost tours to get dinner and a bus ticket. We went on the bar crawl, which was a bit more fun since there were more people than the night before. Met some germans, a kiwi, an aussie (go figure) and some canadians. D...

Day 2 of Edinburgh... After we got a little midday wine tipsy yesterday we headed up to the castle. It was fantastic, even though the walk up the hills were pretty intense. We spent awhile up there taking copious amounts of pictures. We also just walked around old town for a bit. Tired as all he'll after our tours we took a nap, grabbed some food, got ready and headed out for the pub crawl. We were told to meet upstairs in the dining room... Not true. The crawl ...
