London day 5

So today was 100% my best day so far! I went out and first of all the sun was shining for the very first time! Great way to start the day, I went to the cell phone shop and got my phone! So it's great because I get cell service everywhere now and not just at the hostel. Which makes getting around a lot easier. 

I got on the tube and went to central London and saw Westminster abbey, Westminster Bridge, Big Ben, and the London Eye. All were very cool! I will for sure have to take mom and dad back there when they arrive! I think at night however it will be a lot more better! 

After that I got back on the tube and went to see the London Tower Bridge. Absolutely my favourite out of all the things I saw that day! It's just absolutely massive and looks beautiful! Again something that my parents will have to see when they come visit in less than 48 days! 

When I was in school my campus director was Scottish and she had told me that her nephew (Jamie) lived in London and that when I come he would love to show me around. And because my phone finally had service I gave him a call when I was in central London and asked when he wanted to get together, and just as luck would have it, he wasn't far and asked if I wanted to get together for a drink and talk. 

We went to the covent gardens (basically Londons version of Central Park) and after the drink he said he was meeting friends at a sports pub to watch a rugby game and invited me to come along! It was an Irish pub and it was an Irish vs. France game. So as you can imagine the place was absolutely packed! No seats it was all standing and this bar had a basement main and top floor! The place was absolutely massive! And there had to have been 400 people in there for sure! Not even kidding if I would turn around I would be face to face with anther person, very crowded! But it was such a great atmosphere to watch the game in! Escpically how Ireland won. 

After that we went out for supper to a Mexican restaurant, after supper I decided to head home because it was after 9:30, I had been up since 6 and had been walking and standing for more than 12 hours!

Finally made it back to the hostel, me and the family had planned on skyping for the first time but it wasn't working on there end so hopefully Monday we can give it another shot! 

I would like to send safe travels to my family as well as all the other families on the Butze Bus today! They are off to Kimberley for their annual February break for skiing and snowboarding! Hope you all have an awesome time!
