I decided to do my
blog post for today earlier. Today was our last full day in London. My mom and
I went on a tour of London called the “Classic Red Bus Tour.” We were able to
see everything we missed. However, instead of a red bus, we had a green Harrods
bus. I personally preferred the Harrods bus. We first sat on the top, but my
mom was really cold, so we went down. The tour guide was a little rude to us
non-Brits. Apparently people from North America “do not speak proper English
and drive on the wrong side of the world.” We saw all the palaces including the
Buckingham palace, but I’ll talk about that later. The guy spewed out so many
names, I couldn’t remember all of them. We also went on a cruise on the Thames
River. We saw the Millennium Bridge, which was featured in one of the Harry
Potter movies. I kind of freaked out. Before the cruise we went to West
Minister Abbey where William and Kate got married. We weren’t able to go in,
but able to see it from the outside. The last place we went to on the tour was
Buckingham Palace. It’s gorgeous outside. I was quite in awe, realizing the
fact that this is where William and Kate had their kiss and came after they got
married. I was seeing what I saw on TV.

Afterwards we went to
the London Eye. My mom was really nervous to go on originally, but I convinced
her otherwise. One rotation around it takes half an hour. You are able to have
amazing views of all of London. Afterwards, we went to a waffle place that the
lovely Yomna recommended. Let me just tell you, they were amazing. Just
thinking about it makes my mouth water. We then went to Maroush, an amazing
Labanese restaurant, with my grandparents. We stuffed ourselves and it was
quite delicious.
Through this trip, my mom and I were
able to spend a very good time with each other, I was able to catch up with my
grandparents, and I was able to experience another culture. I had an amazing
time in this trip, especially with the shopping! I forgot to add the fact that
the weather in London majority of the week was really good, but today it was a
little chilly.
