So today was spent walking around the city. Jared and I got up fairly early (compared to the hour we went to bed) to go on the London Eye. We got there as it opened, so we got our tickets and then got in line. They loaded up the first three pods and we were almost to the entrance, when they started dismissing people and bringing the people that were already on back down. They had to close for maintainence. So we just continued on with our plan.
We went to the Victoria Theatre and bought tickets to see Wicked (yes, again, but this time in the stalls). We then wandered over to Buckingham Palace to watch the Changing of the Guard. There was nothing exciting about it. It was like a glorified marching band parade. We left a little early.
After lunch we came back to school to drop some souvenirs off that we had bought, then went back to the London Eye. It was running this time, and had a REALLY short line. We were on in 15 minutes. It was pretty cool, but when you've been at the top of every main city you've been to (Eiffel Tower Paris, Reichstag Berlin, Vatican Rome, Guinness Factory Dublin) the London Eye kinda loses some of the effect. Regardless, it was still fun.
Jared and I then came back and packed. He did not completely pack, but because I am spending the day with Suzanna tomorrow, I wanted to be as packed as I can be. I managed to get everything into my bag (though my carry-on is really heavy) so hopefully everything will run smoothly in going to Romania on Sunday.
We then went to Sports Cafe because the school was having a little "Goodbye" party for us, so we grabbed some food and went to the show. Now I'm going to try to upload as many pictures as possible before going to bed, though I'm really tired.
Farewell London...
