It was a real struggle getting up this morning. We probably wernt the best roommates moving about at 4 am but our lift was there by 430 and we headed to the airport. All if us slept the whole flight and the shuttle ride getting us to our hostel, the generator. We couldn't check in until 2 so we dropped off our belongings and went to get breakfast/ lunch at this really great falafel place. After that we returned back to the hostel and marissa did laundry while kar...

We then went to the wrong terminal when we got to the airport ( this is...

Our tour guide has suggested we go to Greenwich as a over boat cruise was also included in our bus. So we hopped on a boat went under the London bridge and then cruised down the river Thames.
