Hello people of Canada! We have arrived in London and it is gorgeous. Or maybe its where we are staying.. it is literally half a block away from hyde park and a block away from royal albert hall. We haven't seen a ford, a truck or any car built before 2005. We have seen 3 aston martin's in the past 2 hours and it seems everyone here is stupid rich. No I have not seen wills yet, but we just had our first fish and chip experience and it was amazing. You haven't had fish and chips like they make here, I guarentee it, well unless you are Uncle Roy and our ontario family. It was actually a whole fish (gutted of course) beer battered and deep fried. It still had it's skin on, so so so good. And they have so many different types of cider I feel there is a possibility I will become an alcoholic for this week by just drinking cider. We had a pear cider with our fish and chips tonight. Every building here has so much charm- I am in love with how old and amazing the buildings are. Our hostel is a town house, will put up photos when we get home but it has 20 foot ceilings, and is just oozing with character. I am not excited to sleep with a room full of other people, they are having a pub crawl tonight which we will not be attending because we havent slept in over 24 hours, and are already feeling loopy after a pint of cider so yes it is 5 pm here and we are debating on whether or not to go to sleep. Tomorrow we want to check out hyde park and buckingham palace, hopefully hit on prince harry but who knows. we have to find platform 9 3/4 as well. Ah my mind is done trying to form sentinces I NEED SLEEP. anywho we are alive and PS our iphones dont work over here so we will not be as in touch as we thought. 
much love,
robyn and jess
 
Hey Girls!
ReplyDeleteVery happy to hear you arrived safely and things have worked out well for you! It is truly a beautiful city. I hope you have a fabulous day two and I am sure sleeping in a room full of people wont be as bad if you are dead tired and full of cider. Also, please feel free to give my number to Prince Harry, just dont tell Michael. Love you both, have fun, savor, and, as mom would say, BE SMART!
