Day 2!!! Even tho technically its day 6 lol

Ok so here is day 2's blog! (Tuesday July 7th)



When we landed in London it was midnight back home in Utah but 7 AM in London. After waiting in a humongous line to get our passports checked we got our luggage and loaded onto our coach. It was about a half hour drive to Windsor Castle which most people slept on lol. We got to the castle and had 4 hours to tour the castle and the surrounding city which was kinda set up like the gateway but only one level. The castle was MAGNIFICENT!! It had some beautiful architecture and history. We saw the changing of the guard and i was kind of disappointed because the royal guard band didn't paly during it because it was raining. Then we went into St. George's Cathedral. It was SO beautiful. I learned that it was built for the Knights of the Order of the Garter. There were so many sarcophigi or however you spell it and so many floor tiles in memorium that it was a little eerie for me and Dani who are FREQUENT Ghost Hunters watchers lol.

We then got to see Queen Mary's Dollhouse which was so intricate and HUGE. It was crazy. Then we toured the State Apartments which is like the Kings Chambers, Dressing Rooms, etc. and the other side was for the Queen. The dollhouse layout is based on the State Apartments. By this time I was exhausted. I had been up for about 29 hours with no rest. We went and got food at a place called Eat. which was kinda cool. Then we went ack to where we would meet our bus and i actually fell asleep while sitting on the ground leaning against a brick wall.

We were then allowed to get on the bus which took us to our hotel. It was only a 20 minute drive but because of the horrible traffic it took us an hour and a half. Which i thoroughly enjoyed by sleeping :)

We got to our hotel, got our keys, and took our bags upstairs and came straight back downstairs for dinner. After dinner we walked about a mile to St. Paul's Cathedral and then a little further to the Globe Theater and back to our hotel. It took us about 2 hours but it was tons of fun. We saw a monument to the fire fighters who died during WWII and we found someone with my moms last name which was cool. I was up for about 36 hours straight and it was a great day :) More stories tomorrow.
