Adventures in London: Best Friends in London!

Me, Ashleigh, and Tower Bridge

Got to sleep in this morning, which was lovely. Then I headed off to the tube station to meet Ashleigh. She had a long layover in London so we decided to get together and hang out.

We had decided to just to walk down the Thames, but the construction on the tube was awful today. It took us so long to get down to the river. We crossed at London Bridge and headed to Borough to get some lunch. But, I haven’t been to Borough on a Saturday before and that was a very bad idea. There were so many people there. But, we grabbed some sausage rolls on our way out, which were delicious. The pastry was very flaky. And then we headed off towards the Thames. We stopped at a little stand to buy some Cokes and Ashleigh ended up with a Coke with her name on it! It was really a wonderful coincidence. Mine said Danielle. Not quite as cool. J

A view from the East side of Tower Bridge

We ended up on Tower Bridge. We paid to go up to the top and walk across the upper part. The view was gorgeous. You could see so much of London. I can’t wait to go up in St. Paul’s or on the London Eye. I can’t imagine what the view is like from up there.

After that we walked over to the Tower of London. We didn’t go in, just walked around it. Then we decided that we should probably head back so Ashleigh could make it back to the airport. Of course the tube station closest to us was closed so we had to walk for another 10 minutes to get to another station and then figure out how to get home from there. The tube was a disaster today.

We stopped at a little bakery on the way back and I got some raspberry cheesecake because they were all out of raspberry tarts. And it was some of the best raspberry cheesecake I’ve ever had. Super delicious. I completely forgot to take a picture or I’d show you. J I just wanted to eat it. It was really good.

And that’s pretty much it. I’m going to watch Doctor Who for the rest of the night. So, enjoy the pictures!
