Tour Guide in Training

I could not wait for Jen, Kenny, and Marie to visit London! My goal for the weekend was to show them the coolest parts of the city, which is quite the task in only 48 hours. The trips to and from the airport were adventures in themselves, but once we were finally all together, it was a weekend of tube/red double decker bus rides and sightseeing galore. I actually impressed myself with my ability to navigate around the huge city, and we had sooo much fun! Here's what we did:

==> Buckingham Palace (Apparently the guards don't care about securing the palace on a 24 hour basis because they were MIA when we were there)

==> Fish & Chips! (I've been in London for 2 months, but it was actually my first time eating this too)

==> Trafalgar Square, Big Ben, and the London Eye (It was getting dark by the time we were walking over the bridge, so we saw the whole city lit up--perfect timing!)

==> Hi Sushi in Covent Garden (Unlimited sushi for 14.80!)

==> Absolut Ice Bar (Everything is made out of ice--the bar itself, the cups, the walls--, and they give you a parka and gloves to stay for a 40 minute session. It was one of the coolest things I've ever seen!) Here's a pic!

==> Piccadilly Circus (Tip: don't ever fall for the smooth talking of a club promoter, like we did)

==> Harrods (I think to make it through every part of this amazing department store would take days) Here's a pic!

==> Dave Matthews Band Concert at the O2 Arena! (I went home and downloaded tons of Dave after this!! It was so good! The O2 Arena itself is amazing with tons of restaurants, bars, and clubs inside the venue)

Crunching a healthy dose of London into 2 days while having an amazing time with my best friends= success! May seems so far away :(

I can't wait for more visitors...I might have to start charging :)
