Day 5 - Thursday - London

Sorry for such a delay in posting this. Switching city has really made the internet quite questionable.

This morning we got up fairly early. I wanted to see the Changing of the Guards. It wad cool to see them march and parade. Unfortunately we couldn't see much inside the gates. After we watched for about an hour, it was time to leave.

We jumped on the underground and headed towards the London Eye. The London Eye is a GIANT ferris wheel in which you can see the whole city. Unfortunately I had to shoot my photos through the glass of the enclosure. After we landed to was time to move on.

We jumped back on the underground and headed out to Camden Markets. I absolutely love these type of markets and this is what I wanted to do most. There we found just about everything. There was fashion, art, jewelery, trinkets, and london souvenirs. We found some amazing things, some of which we bought.

We walked around quite a bit so then it was time to take the tube home.

After hanging out a bit, it was time to leave for the theater. Kendra and I were going to see Wicked. We grabbed dinner at a pub and ate Bacon and Blue Cheese salads. They were okay. Nothing too specular. We needed something quick so we could make to the theater I time. We got super dressed up and I wore my new boots.

I didn't know what to expect going into it. This was my first theater show ever. It was AMAZING!!! I loved the story line and the actors were phenomenal.

After Wicked we stopped at the pub next to the theater. There the bartender asked us where we were from. I asked him if he knew where Ohio was, he said is it by Texas. I got a laugh at that. From there it was time for bed. We were leaving for Dublin early the next morning so we needed to get home. We navigated the Underground and stopped for food at a little convenient store and Kendra and I ate an entire can of BBQ Pringles.

We got back and went to bed.

(Yes I'm posting this from the Hard Rock in Dublin. Wifi has been spotty since we're been here. Why we are here shall be revealed in a later post.)
