Today was a lot more eventful than I was expecting it to be. I started off with a morning run, then got ready to go down to our school, CAPA, in South Kensington because they were holding this travel fair where students could go and learn about/plan different trips to places like Paris, Amsterdam, Scotland, Ireland, etc. (which is what my friends and I want to do) After that, a couple of us decided to head over to Kensington Gardens, where Kensington Palace is, and check it out since we hadn't done that yet. We also stopped at this little French Bakery on the way to get something to eat, which was amaaazing.
Kensington Gardens was absolutely beautiful. It was like something out of a book or movie. I've only been to one other city park, Central Park in NYC, and this was waaay better (although i did see central park during the winter). But it was absolutely gorgeous, and so cute! We saw the palace too but most of it was under construction, which was kind of a bummer. After that we headed over towards Buckingham Palace because mine and Chrissy's one friend, Audra, was visiting London for a couple days before she went to Florence, Italy for her study abroad program. So we met up with her and then ended up going over to do the London Eye, which was also an unplanned, but amazing activity to do. It was nice because I hadn't really been to that area yet, besides on our tour bus the other day. It was a such a cool experience, getting to overlook the entire city from that high up. (for those of you who don't know what the London Eye is, it's like a huge ferris wheel that overlooks all of London, but the seats are like big bubbles you can walk around in and take pics in etc. its really neat)
After that I was so tired and my feet were aching from walking around the whole city pretty much! But I ended up going out to eat with Audra and Chrissy to the Hard Rock Cafe, which took FOREVER to find, and we ended up making another huge circle around the city just to find it. Audra really wanted to eat there because she wanted to get something for someone from the souvenir shop. I didn't know this but it was actually the first original Hard Rock Cafe ever! So it actually ended up being worth the long trek!
All in all, it was a very eventful and fun day. (even though my feet feel like they're going to fall off)
