The rooms were small and completely bare, so we quickly realized we were paying for the location. We were completely surrounded by embassy mansions and literally every where you looked on the street there was a Rolls Royce or Bentley passing by. I've never seen a city with so much money!
Since both of us have never been to London before, we did all the usual tourist stops. We started the day late because we were booking our train tickets for Amestdam, but we were still able to catch the end of the Changing of the Guards ceremony (kind of glad because I heard it can get boring). Then we headed over to see Big Ben, ate lunch in Trafalgar Square and went to the National Gallery.
Although London accomodation and food is outrageously expensive, their museums and parks make up for it since most addmission is free. Their parks are soooo pretty too, and have lawn chairs decorated throughout them...I have a feeling if we tried to do something like that at home, they would be stolen in a matter of minutes ha!
Sorry this post isn't very exciting since you probably all have already been to London and seen all of this before. Amsterdam's up next though, which I think you might enjoy a little more.
