-LONDON, 9+ BUT RAINING ALL DAY
Today was ok, walked to Buckingham Palace in the rain, and my feet got SOAKING wet, was really not good at all. We went there to see the changing of the guards ceremony and waited for 40mins in the rain only to be told that it was cancelled due to bad weather, but then as we walked away and were about 700m away from the palace the ceremony began but we couldn't have gotten back in time to see it :( On the plus side, we did see a bunch of squirrels in the park, they were very cute as they bounded around and ate nuts! We walked by Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament and also Westminister Abbey, then caught the bus to the Museum of London (and got lost along the way) which was all about the history of London including the Great Fire of London which lasted 5 days I think. Houses of Parliament were so detailed with billions of intricate windows and decorations, and after the museum we walked to St.Paul's Cathedral where Princess Di got married- was sooo big, it looked very pretty from the outside (we didn't go in, it was very exxy). Caught the bus to Oxford St and did a little more shopping, then went back to the hostel and got ready for dinner and.....
CHICAGO THE MUSICAL!! OMG was sooooo good, was very exciting to see it in London, even though I ate wayyyy too much good food at dinner and felt like I was going to be sick for the 1st half of the show LOL. Was quite different to the movie- the finale was a little dissapointing, was it was still v.good! Mummy will be jealous..
