we arrived in london after a 7 hour flight. typical london it was cold and rainy. after attempting to catch the tube which is really easy to use we had to walk to the royal national hotel which is about 10 mins from russel square station the royal national is an alright hotel. its big and there are alot of people that stay there. not just contiki people there were busloads of school kids on trips and many oldies aswell. the hotel is alright. pre standard nothing special they have a tv and bed and lights and yeah. we then went out and explored around russel square. those red little telephone boxes everyone loves had wall to wall coverings of escort services haha couldnt believe it. then we went to the pub for dinner. had a chicken snitzel burger and it was so good and the drinks are so cheap i got a smirnoff ice amd the chicken burger and chips for under £9
the next day we did a siteseeing bus tour which went everywherr we got lost in liecster square when we had to change busses but got use to it quickly. we saw big ben, london eye, westminster abbey, and tried to see buckingham palace but couldnt for some reason it was closed.
the day after we went on the open bus tour again and went to madam tusaddes and to the london dungeon. the london dungeon was scary and i seriously reccomend going to it. it is walking show in the dark and it goes through londons dark side of history like sweeny todd, jack the ripper and the london fires. then at the end theres a ride where it basically takes u up and u drop down really fast. it scared the crap outa me so much and they take a photo of u so make sure smile haha because my face is priceless in the photo.
the day before contiki we did nothing, slept in late and went on wifi an just dis our own thing and walked to a little shopping centre thing thats down the right of russel square station. they have some pretty cool clothes and there cheap aswell. that night we had our contiki meet up meeting at 7pm we met everyone on our tour and our tm andrianne and driver steve. they seemes cool then we went to the pub after and had a few drinks and got to know eachother more.
