Tonight is my last night in London. I meant to post an entry earlier, but after walking around all day, I didn't really have the patience to deal with the stupid wifi. So here's what I've been doing so far. My flight from Dulles left at 7:40pm on Wednesday night, and I arrived in London at 7:30 in the morning on Thursday. I was a walking zombie. I didn't get any sleep on the plane...I was too busy watching all the free movies! I watched 127 Hours, The King's Speech and You Again. It was like the flight to Vietnam all over again. If anyone plans on flying to Europe, I recommend Virgin Atlantic. I think it was the best flight I've ever had.
I took a free walking tour on Thursday and saw Buckingham Palace, the house where Prince Charles, William and Harry live, the Prime Minister's House, the Clock Tower/Big Ben, Parliament, the Horse Guards Building, and Westminster Abbey. I forgot to bring my camera that day because I was totally out of it, but I went back and snapped some pictures of the Parliament building and Westminster Abbey yesterday.
There is an admission fee to tour the inside of the church, but our guide on the walking tour suggested that if we wanted to see the inside of the church for free, we could attend one of the services and then take a look around afterward. So I went to the Evensong service on Saturday and got to see the inside of the church and also got to hear the choir sing. I wish I could have taken a photo or recorded the choir singing because it was so beautiful.
My battery is running low right now, so I'll leave you with a few other pictures of London from the last few days. I'm headed to Canterbury tomorrow morning, and I'll continue the update!
