London- last day

1/26/10
Casie:
Today was our last day. My friends and I decided to have a loose plan and just wander about London to our destinations. I just wanted to see London and take it all in. It’s strange this feeling that tomorrow we will leave all of this.
We will leave getting on the bus early in the mornings, museum trips, sight-seeing, getting lost, snacks, wonderful coffee breaks, metros, trekking on to another country. We are leaving all that and I don’t think we want to.

We went to a market in Covent Garden and wandered about some shops, which is never good because that means more spending. However, we did enjoy a bit of window-shopping after we met our quota for spending. Then we took a break and had some tea in a café nearby and wrote postcards. It was such a relaxing day. I loved walking in the streets of London and seeing the people.

To top the night off, we had fish and chips and strongbow cider at the pub for a classic London meal. Then, another musical…Les Miserables.
It was stunning and even better the second time seeing it. The set, music and musicians were impeccable. This theater was much smaller and intimate. I absolutely loved it. It was a classy evening and just a perfect conclusion to our trip.
That musical has my heart.

Good night London. Cheers.

Becca:
Last day in London. Sigh

Today was beautiful. No rain, thank goodness. I shopped quite a bit today…but when in London, I feel that you must. I don’t know the next time I’ll be back here…such a sad thought.

It was a hat shopping, tea sipping, postcard writing kind of day, and a fish and chips eating, Strongbow drinking, Les Mis singing kind of night. A perfectly perfect end to our wonderfully wonderful trip.
