London IV

2/23 - London - On Wednesday we took a double-decker to the London Eye where we looked down on London. We went with our new friends that we shared our Hostel room with.

On the way to the London Eye, we walked past Big Ben + Parliament.

Afterward we saw we rented bikes (1lb for 24 hours) and biked around the park. We got to see Buckingham Palace and got soaked in the rain. At night we caught our bus to the Airport, then made it to the hotel so we could get up early and catch our flight.


Here's the panorama we took about 3/4 way to the top of the London Eye. I would have gotten a 360, but there were people in the way:

London III

2/22 - London - We woke up at Bonnie's, and had a very nice morning. Afterward, we took the tube to our Hostel (Picadilly Backpacker's Youth Hostel) to drop off our bags. It was a nice place. You got what you payed for, but there were a ton of nice people, and a handful of kids too loud for their own good. There we met out room-mates before heading out for the night.

That night we saw the Tower of London, Tower bridge, and walked around London. I also jumped on the first double-decker, and got us both lost.

London I

2/21 - London - We met up w/ a friend of mine currently studying abroad in London. We were starving, so went out looking for food. We found a classic british Pub for dinner.

2/21 London - The first beer Alex ever bought.

After dinner we took the underground to Bonnie's house. Bonnie is a friend of my dads from Business School. Her family lives in an amazing! house in N/W London. After some tea and talking we slept like rocks.

Flights

2/20 - Boston - Our flight was long, but we made it. 5+ hours from Boston to Reykjavik, Iceland. Our flight from Iceland to London was going well, until a passenger had a medical emergency. He ended up being ok, but we had to turn around and go back to Reykjavik. On the plus side we got to visit Iceland twice, and see it in the day light.
