So, it was right after the American live that I decided I'd be making a trip to Jolly ol' England, and soon enough, all my flights were booked and I was ready to go!
Day 1
The first day was a bit hectic as it basically just involved flying. I woke up around nine or so, got everything together, and called a taxi to the bus station where I was to catch my bus to Pearson International Airport in Toronto.
Two hours later, and I was there. There were virtually no lines for anything so I got in right away and ended up having to wait ages for my first flight to Philidephia. I was scared as I hadn't been on a small plane before, but it really wasn't too bad, besides the landing which was rather turbulent. A little after seven, I arrived in Philidelphia where I took the shuttle to terminal A.. It still wasn't sinking in that I was going overseas for the first time!
Bye bye mooseyland!
Right on time, we left. Although I couldn't sleep throughout the flight, I dozed on and off and it was fairly smooth. We got stuck in like, a thirty to fourty minute holding pattern when we were landing in Heathrow, and then our bridge thingy to the terminal got stuck so we all got stuck on the airplane for like, twenty minutes. By the time I got in, it was about 10:30 am the next day.
Day 2
After the long walk from the gate to arrivals, I saw Brad almost instantly. He didn't see me as he was on his Blackberry, so I snuck up behind him. From there, we left on the hour and a half train journey back to his house (my first time on an Underground, woo).
It had a silly name.. Of course I had to take a photo of it. Me and Brad's maturity levels proved to be a bit lacking, considering we both giggled each time we saw it
.
When we got back to his place, we didn't really have anything planned until later in the night, so we just chilled and this is when I tried English chocolate for the very first time. He can attest to the fact that my smile was ginormous and I was extremely satisfied with it .
Me with my very first English Dairy Milk <3
We went to Ryan's that night and ended up spending the night there. Was a fun time, but didn't get any pictures.
Day 3
Day 3 was London! Even though we were both really tired, we got up early to take the train back to Brad's house. We got ready, and then headed off to London!
The first stop was Camden! It was a really cool place, I thought.. So much markets and interesting stores and good food (Chinese.. nom).
Madame Tussauds was next.. I don't know what's so intriguing about wax figures, but it was surprisingly pretty neat. Before Madame Tussauds however, we stopped at platform 9 and 3/4!
Brad and his love, Cheryl Cole .
We're bad people.. We laughed.
Brad's second love.. Thatcher.
His third love.. Boris!
Vlad is AMAAZING.
We went to a bunch of other places that day, I can't really remember the names of them all but we did go to Oxford Street, Trafalger Square, Piccadilly Circus, the Trocadero, Big Ben, and the London Eye. We were too late for the London Aquarium, but oh well, they're only fish.
I lost my Primark virginity.. It was amazing.
Of course I had to stand in a telephone booth!
Then it was time to try out some seriously amazing British cuisine.. Aka, nasty McDonalds.
Brad and his water. I still don't know how he ONLY drinks water, that'd be torture.
Me being a goon.
Brad sporting his new Primark hat.
Before I go any further, I have to say that a lot of the photo credits go to Brad, as you can tell.. Because they're not dark or blurry like most of my photos are :lol:
The architecture in London is amazzinggg.
The London Eye was amazing and not scary at all.
Since the Aquarium was closed, we decided it was time for an airhockey rematch. The story behind this is that at the American Live, we had an air hockey competition where I beat him best out of three, and then he beat me best out of five. So now we had to have a rematch.. From the pictures, it's obvious who won.
Then we bought chocolate, watched Waterloo road, and went to bed, ready for Ghosterforce the next day!
(I approve of all besides the Chomp)
Stay tuned for Ghosterforce day 4 and 5!
