We have been to London once before (when we were so young and carefree) that we weren’t too keen in doing the touristy things. We did see a couple of touristy places like the London Eye, but we mostly just enjoyed getting to know and hang out with Londoners as well as immersing ourselves in the London scene. On our first night, we were able to party with our British friends that we met 2 months prior in Burgundy. It was a super fun night. Then, the next evening we got to hear Paul’s (a friend of Lisa) band Afro funk. Afrofunk is a very cool and awesome band.
In one day we hit the following places: Piccadilly Circus, the covenant garden, Soho, Trafalgar Square, England’s National Art Museum, square of the parliament, Kensington garden - beautiful, and Notting Hill. For posterity’s sake, we did our last new europe tour, where we walked around London and saw the Big Ben, WestMinister Abbey, Buckingham Palace, St. James Park, House of Parliament and etc... In the midst of our tour, we heard the breaking news that Prince William and Kate Middleton were engaged. Man…it was the biggest news EVER…it was everywhere and people were lining up outside of the entrance of Prince William’s house. We went past it in our tour to get a picture of the guards…it was funny to see all the hoopla. We ended our last night of traveling at a pub in Brixton called the Rest is Noise, which was a cool place.
Traveling has been an unbelievable experience for the both of us. This adventure has stretched and grown us in countless ways. We want to thank all of you that have supported us through prayer and encouragement. Our travel days are not over. We have just begun... Next Stop: Australia and New Zealand - Here we come!!!!
