Londoning...

Well as I predicted, this blogging thing isn't working out too well. We have been so busy that I barely have time to breathe, and whenever I had breaks over the past few days, Kinkos was closed cause of New Years and Tube strikes, so I couldn't come down here to use the Internet. But I've done a million and one things that I will conveniently list for you and will not go into any detail whatsoever:

Picadilly Circus
Trafalgar Square
St. Paul's Cathedral
Buckingham Palace and the "changing of the guards" ceremony
Tate Modern museum
Tate Britain museum
Ferry ride on the river Thames
Big Ben and Houses of Parliament
Westminster Abbey
Warwick Castle
Stratford aka Shakespeare's town (which included Anne Hathaway's cottage)
a handful of pubs
Victoria and Albert Museum
The London Eye
Green Park and St. James Park
Abbey Road
Sherlock Holmes shop next to the museum (that we never actually went in to)and restaurant
Canterbury, including the Canterbury Cathedral
Dover, including the Dover castle
the secret WWII underground tunnels at Dover
Leicester Square
the cinema (aka "the movies") - Brokeback Mountain...awkward.
The Design Museum
The Tower of London
Maddam Tussauds

I'm sure there's something I left out, but that's the big stuff.

Tomorrow we will be going to Stonehenge and Bath, and we still have two more theatre productions to see. We have plans to go to Kensington Palace, Harrods, and a few other places I don't really know how to spell, and don't feel like attempting :)

I'm going to need to buy an extra bag to take home all the crap I've bought.

But I'm having a great time and will be sad to leave! See you all soon :)
