*LONDON*
Travel Location: London,United-Kingdom
After Amsterdam, my friends and I ventured on to my most anticipated destination- LONDON!! I couldn’t believe that I was actually going to visit. All my life, I had heard stories about England from my parents, who were both born and raised there, and now I was going to experience it for myself.
We arrived in London October, 15 and spent four nights, staying at ‘Journey’s London Eye’ hostel. For the five days that we were there, we accomplished a lot!

I don’t know how we managed it, but it didn’t rain once the whole time we were there (only a brief sprinkle one afternoon). The parks were some of the best I have ever seen; with water fowl, squirrels, willow trees and ponds, it was hard not to feel relaxed. London was gorgeous and I could definitely see myself visiting again.
