Sep 24 2009: Half Day in London

Sep 24, 2009 by Rochelle

We arrived in London around noon and it felt like morning. After going through an enormous customs line, we were on our way to our hotel. There was a lot of debate about how to get to our hotel from the airport and we finally settled on paying the high price of the cab. I’m glad we did this because we had so much luggage to manage.

We settled into our room at Thistle Kensington Gardens. The room was great and overlooked Kensington Gardens.

Marissa crashed out, while my mom and I unpacked. Before we knew it the sun was setting and we were starving. So we walked down to The Swan, an old pub on Bayswater road. We were a little nervous at first, but then settled down when we realized how to order food and had a few beers to drink.

In the pub, we were on the look out for any HGs (hot guys) and were disappointed when we didn’t find any. Little did we know that the rest of the trip would be sprinkled with them.

We stayed at the pub for quite a while and then went back to our hotel for the night.

So it wasn’t the best use of our time in London, but it was relaxing and fun.
