So during class this week, two girls mentioned to us that they were going to London this weekend. They said the flight and hostel was reasonable. We were sold on the idea instantly!! A couple days later we booked our flights to London. We will be leaving next Friday night and coming back Sunday night. We had a difficult time looking up flights, because one girl has class until 4pm, and some flights were pretty expensive. However, I worked my magic and somehow found us a round trip, direct flight with perfect times for only $200! We also found a reasonable priced hotel, that is only $70 per person for both nights. We decided against staying in a hostel since there are four of us, and we could split the cost of a nice hotel. Of course then we have the cost of transportation while we are there, food, and admission fees, but this trip will cost a whole lot less flying from Spain than the US. Plus, I save every penny I earn, not knowing what I'm exactly saving for, but now I have the money to splurge! And luckily, one girl in our group has been to London before, so she knows how to get around and what's worth seeing while we are there. Here is a list of a few things we want to see:
London Eye
Olympic Park
Torch Relay(comes near London on July 21)
Newham 10:20
Tower Hamlets 13:52
Hackney 15:54
Waltham Forest- evening celebration
Buckingham Palace
Westminster Abbey
King Cross Station- Platform 9 3/4 from Harry Potter
Big Ben
London Bridge
That weekend will be my last weekend in Europe! I will leave the following Saturday, July 28. I can't believe I only have two weeks left :(
