Ciao tutti! (I know this is a few days old, sorry I haven't had time to upload it)
Ok so quick update on the last 3 days in London. Wednesday I met up with my EF group. There are 41 people and still I know about 5 people’s names. But they are all super nice! We checked into our hotel and then had welcome drinks. Then some friends and me went to platform 9 ¾ in kings cross-station, because we are that cool.
Thursday we got up and went on a walking tour around London and then took a hop-on-hop-off tour. Then we walked around London for a bit. We went out to a club that night, but London definitely doesn’t stay out as late as other cities I have been to. But it was still fun.
Today (Friday) we went to Bath and Stonehenge. Unfortunately we spent more time on the bus going there then actually there. But it was nice to see bath again. And Stonehenge is really impressive. They were all there getting ready for the summer solstice where people camp out waiting to see the famous sunrise in Stonehenge, because I guess Stonehenge works sort of as an ancient sundial. We got back from Stonehenge and then some of us did a Jack the Ripper tour. This tour guide walked us all around London showing us the murder spots of Jack the ripper, the first serial killer. The guide made it fun, and he really knew his stuff. He’s even taken Johnny depp on a private tour before.
I loved London this time around. Last year I didn’t really feel like I got a grasp on the city, but this time I knew it better and I was able to sit back and enjoy it without having to take crazy pictures everywhere. I will miss London.
Ok so Saturday morning we were at the train station where my friend Sora who is doing this trip with me got her walled stolen. We were all sitting by the bags and suddenly it wasn’t there. She had to stay In London while the rest of us went on the train to Paris. I tried to stay with her, but the tour guide wouldn’t let me. Anyways, so that is London, Ill post one of Paris soon. Arrivederci!!!
