We arrived safely in London this morning at 6 am. United Airlines served us like 3 different meals! We got to watch movies so the time on the airplane went pretty fast.
When we arrived in London we purchased a bus ticket to Oxford and we dropped our luggage off at the college. We were very happy to get rid of the heavy luggage! My backpack weighs about 45-50 pounds right now and it is now very comfortable to wear around. I think I will be throwing some clothes away along the way...
After we stopped in Oxford we took the bus into London and found our hostel. We are staying in a 14 bed room w/ guys and girls from all over the world. It is veryyyyy weird and strange. The bathroom is pretty sick looking and doesn't look like fun. I'll take pictures of it for you!
After that we took the underground train to Wimbledon and watched a couple tennis matches and had strawberries and cream :) Very good.
Then we made it back into the city and went to the Tour de France opening ceremonies. There were tons of people there. It's funny cuz they drive on the right side of the car and the left side of the street...hard to get used to seeing that everywhere.
Tomorrow our flight leaves the London-Gatwick airport at 6:50 am...so we are leaving for the airport at 4 am. I'll take a shower tonight then sleep for a couple hours on the nasty bed. Tomorrow we'll be in Rome.
It is kinda cold in London right now. All the women are wearing scarves and skinny pant jeans and everyone is wearing coats. I arrived in London w/ a Nebraska tshirt and capris. Not very warm. Hopefully today was just a cold day for the summer.
Talk to you all soon!
