After leaving Paris, we traveled to London. When we arrived in London, we couldn’t check into our hostel yet, so we dropped off our luggage and went to lunch. We went to a restaurant called Nando’s. It was an African chicken restaurant. We were so excited to have unlimited refills of soda and ice! The food was really good and the sauce that was a trademark of the restaurant was even better. After lunch we went back to the hostel and relaxed for a bit.
We then decided to walk around the city a little and explore. We started off in a plaza where a live mural of a Van Gogh painting was. On a wall, they had planted bushes and flowers to resemble a portion of the painting. This was in correlation with London’s Green initiative which was being publicized all over the city. We then visited the royal gardens, which had a special exhibit dedicated to the 2012 Summer Olympics and Paralympics in London.
From here we continued walking on a trail, which was dedicated to Princess Diana, until we got to the Royal Palace. We took some pictures of the guards. After exploring, we ate at a Chinese restaurant that was recommended to us. It was very good and very cheap! We then went to a pub near the train station to wait for our friend Julian to get in from Greece. We ordered some beer and cider while waiting. By the time Julian got in, EVERYTHING was closed so we went to bed.
