London-Take 2!

We where in London for a good couple of days, so that led to lots of things to see and do! After figuring out the transit system (not before getting completely lost a few times), we frolicked around the city day and night! We will sum up all the fun adventures London had to offer!
Also, big shout out to our friend Steph Debray who kicked it with us during our stay and provided us with a place to crash. Not to mention, introducing us to European ciders. Mmm.

We knew that while we were here we had to go on The London Eye! As recommended, we went on it at night. So beautiful! The view of the city at night was worth the 20 pounds for sure. There was a small carnival happening near the Eye so we decided to spend a couple pounds on a ride. Molly pursuaded Bailey to go on giant, spinning swings. Let's just say it was really high, really cold, really windy and really quite terrifying.

Lucky for us, Steph lives in Camden, a really awesome area of London. Even more awesome, the fact that she lives a 10 minute walk to Abbey Road. We were blessed with Beatles goodness being able to walk it, sign the wall and see the studio. All in all, it made us super happy!

London is quite the posh place and you can feel the royal buzz almost everywhere you go. The folks there truly LOVE the Queen! (we're more so obsessed with Prince Harry, and of course Kate Middletons latest fashion choices). We all put on our fancy pants and went on a tour of Buckingham Palace. It is pretty darn cool to say you've been on the Queenys stomping grounds. Keeping up with the classyness we accumulated at the palace, we santered over to a local pub and enjoyed some veggie burgers and a pitcher of Pimm's!

Our last day in London started off with getting lost and winding up at a little breakfast nook that we think, was meant to be! We sent our tastebuds to a party of love with veggie breakfast wraps, yogurt granola and fruit, latte's and smoothies being on the menu. (you would probably give up your first born child for this meal, it was huge and wonderful). Thank goodness we had that highlight of our day, because what followed wasn't quite as pleasant. We ended up being super late trying to catch our train to Liverpool, so it resulted in lots of running, some swearing, and ending up having to buy new tickets. Bummer. But, we made it to Liverpool safe and sound. All in all, it was fun!
