On to my second flight...




So I made it to London surprisingly quickly and without much mishap, except that I couldn't stand or walk properly after being cramped in such a small space for so long. Perhaps one day I'll have an extra $2,000 to just throw into a first class ticket. I kept myself entertained on the plane with the extensive variety of movies offered. As it turns out, "Black Swan" is not an appropriate selection to watch with a 7 year old impressionable child sitting next to me (I had no idea it was going to be that kind of movie)...

Anyways, after the debacle of leaving my luggage at the airport and figuring out the Underground system, I was able to take a mini-tour of the city, including Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Parliament Square, and the London Bridge. I ended the day by having a one-person picnic in Hyde Park eating a delicious nutella crepe (not comparable to Parisian crepes but incredibly better than anything I've eaten in the past 6 months) while watching Londoners enjoy the outdoors. After walking what felt like miles, I was ready to head back to the airport, so I hopped on the infamous double-decker bus and rode back.

I almost electrocuted myself sticking my laptop into the outlet so I hope this does not have long-lasting effects on my computer :(  

Now boarding... here we go again...
