our weekend in London

Me, Zoey and Cherrie in front of Buckingham Palace
Last weekend Zoey and I, after a minor delay at the London Gatwick airport, had a lovely time in London. I had never been there so we had to be non-stop tourists the whole two days. We went to the Victoria Albert Museum, Big Ben, Parliament, Westminster Abbey, the Eye, the Globe, Tate Modern Museum, Trafalger Square, Spitefield Markets and Brick Lane, Millenium Bridge, St Pauls Cathedral (and up the 500 steps to the top!), Hyde Park, Buckingham Palace, and Harrods, of course. I feel like we only saw a fraction of what London has to offer, so hopefully I will be able to visit again soon!



Trafalger Square
My cousins, Ben and Gerry, were fantastic hosts who gave us the names of perfect British restaurants, shops, museums, etc for our weekend trip. On Sunday morning they showed us around their neighborhood, Islington, and took us to fantastic markets!
