Black Boogers!

Hey everyone,

Firstly starting we will explain the title of this blog for you. We have spent most of the day walking all around London including the likes of Harrods, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Sqaure. After hours walking around and sightseeing in central London, we got back to the hotel and relaxed and I (Kristian) blew my nose and Black Boogers came out! Thats how dirty you get just walking around London. You know your In London when you have black boogers thats for sure.

Anyway our morning started off having a lovely brekkie at our hotel then we were off to Harrods. Just to let you all know we have been catching the tube everywhere and we actually find it pretty easy.
Harrods was pretty cool, very big and rather expensive. Walking past all the Versace, D&G, Chanel etc just killed me... but I knew it was the closest I would ever get to those designer brands.

After a little retail therepy we decided to get Starbucks and jump back on the tube to go to Buckingham Palace. Unfortunatly there wasn't changing of the guard today which sucked but we did get to see a whole bunch of dudes on horses wearing funny hats.

A chat to the Queen and a scone or two later we headed back to the tube and headed towards Westminster. When we got out of the underground we noticed it was pouring down with rain. Ofcourse we were only wearing shorts and t-shirts and we didn't have an umbrella. Luckily Lauren's thongs didn't have any grip on them so we ice skated all the way to Westminster Abbey in incredible time with some near-slips and almost broken bones.

We went in the Westminster which was quite interesting and had a bit of a look around and browse then slowly moved onto the gift store where we spent most of our time. Afterwards we debated whether or not to go on the London Eye due to the horrible weather and the risk of Lauren having a heart attack because we were so high above ground. We decided to skip the giant ferris wheel and go shopping again!

Piccadilly Circus was quite a bit better then Oxford Street mainly because there were not nearly as many people and the walkways were adequetly sized. We were forced to go back to our hotel just after 4 because both our feet were killing us but soon after we go to the hotel we went straight back out to Piccadilly Circus in search for food. It was all ridiculously priced so instead we looked for an internet cafe and thats where we have ended up now.

We will probably come back here tomorrow night so we can post our second last blog for our trip with the last being KL airport because I know they have free wifi which is aawwessommeee.

So thats it for now and we will post again soon enough but probably see you all sooner.
Stay well and have a good day,
Kristian & Lauren.
