Brighton....London...the royal baby!

I made it!  I made it out of Ireland with my 40 kilos (85+lbs) of luggage.

 So from there I had to lug it on a train and take a hour ride to the city of Chichester! I didn't mind it though cause the whole way was pretty countryside, and every so often were huge castles!! :) 

There I met up with Danielle a cousin of some friends back home. Soo when I first got there I told her and her sone...my whole story and what my plan was.   Then I had to repack because we had convention in the morning and also staying at her other sons...so had to have stuff for the rest of the weekend. 

So the first day of convention was great and Lloyd thought it was hilarious because all the people thought I was his girlfriends which he loved but looked bad for me cause I wanted to meet the cute Gus I didn't want to be paired up with him but whatev, it wasn't that big of a deal. I did meet a lot of people from their hall and everyone was so nice....it's so hard to explain where I'm from...I'm like I'm from the states but haven't lived there in awhile and I'm not going back, I'm actually moving to Austrlaia. Idk I was always this big long story every time! Lol. It was an outdoor convention and Friday it was freezing and raining so it was funny me and Lloyd looked like an old couple we had a blanket wrapped around our laps lol but the other two days were nice!! 

But that's pretty much how the rest of the convention went as well. I met a couple really nice people and got their contact info so hopefully I can meet up when I go back! Lloyd has had issues with a lot of people so I didn't get to meet everyone that I was hoping that I would! 

After getting back to Danielle's I had todo a big repack....I was leaving in the morning and I am going for 3 weeks.  So I got all that packed up and ready! In the morning Lloyd walked me to the train station lol got on the train and headed into London. Once I got to Victoria station I took the bus to Marlybone station.  From there Aunty Margret met me and walked me back to her house.  It was a cute little apartment, she was so sweet and just acted as if weve known each other for ages and I was just stopping by.  So she gave me a key and said that she would be out and about and just do what I need. It was so funny cause she kept talking about how she goes and helps the "old people" do this and that and ohh this is for the "old people" and the whole time I'm thinking....your old! 

On my way to the closest station I passed a hospital...which had like 100 people out front and cameras galore and ladders and news trucks...come to find out this is where Kate Middleton was to have the Royal baby...literally 2 blocks away from me!! And she was on critical watch..so it could happen!! :) 

So I headed out and I had to go back to Victoria station to meet up with Tat. Well Victoria station is huge!  Lol. I couldn't find her and then she called and I called and then she called again and we were going in circles and then we had a meeting point but then there was two of them soo she was at the other one but I eventually found her. I just told her to stop moving lol   It was soo good to see a friendly face! Soo first things first we hoped on the metro and went to go get our discounted theater tickets!! Woo! Then we were off to London Tower and bridge!  It was soo hot and perfect I loved it! 

Soo we are both kinda dumb when we got to the station we were both looking for a "tower".  But no no the London tower is in fact a huge castle!  Sooo that was cool. 

Then we walked down to the bridge...it was way blue-er then expected...I think they must of just repainted it cause it was bright!   Sooo we took heaps of pictures there...then we crossed over and went walking around on that side of town and took some more pictures. There is like a boardwalk over there and then barrier to the water and of course me...I had to climb up it....hey I got some awesome pictures that nobody else probably has.  Bt it was funny cause we were being all dumb and everyone was watching us. (Like usual)  ****ill have to upload those pictures later****

After a little while..Tat wanted to go home...so whatever she went home but it was like 7or 8 and I was like laters yo....so I just wondered around...I love just walkin down random streets and seeing little neighborhoods and idk I just like wondering.  I came apon...Abbey Road... And I walked across like the Beatles.....it would of been funner if there was more people or if they had a cross walk signs cause you kida just had to run across in between cars but it was still cool. 

The next day we met up at the same spot and knew where it was soo there was no confusion. Then we headed to Madame Toussads.  There was a huge-o line and we had printed out our tickets and I was like this is crap I'm not waiting in this long line. Soo I walked up to the VIP section and was all "Excuse me" ( in my cute lil girly American  voice) and asked if we could go in here cause we already printed our tickets out....and he looked around and was all..sure why not!!  Boo yeaaa. It helps to have boobs!  Cause everyone else had the exact same printout but they were in the 3+ hour line Muahahahaha  when we got in it was soo awesome...the first room was celebrities...and there was such good ones and they do look just like the people...and I like here you can all touch em and get a picture all close.   One disappointment in this room was Brad Pitt he did not look good :( 

The next room was like movie characters  based in London (Sherlock Holmes..James bond) and old movie stars.  After that you walk into this greeny garden area and its Will and Kate and you pretend your at a luncheon with them he he he... Then it went on and on and on...the royal family..sports stars..old dead famous inventors and artist.  Then you go through this dungeon area and people come out and scare you and it's pitch black...it was pretty scary. Then it was super heros..and then Madame Toussads history cause I guess she's from London. Then there was a ride (just like dland) about the history of London.  Then to end it all there was a 4d movie!!!  Soo we were in there for a really long time...but it was fun! With our ticket we got to go on the London eye as well...but we ended up not having time to wait in line and go on it...cause we would miss our show!! So in stead we took Big Ben photos! 

 Hello?

So the show we went to was We Will Rock You!  It was sooo good...and our cheap tickets couldn't have gotten us better seats! We were front row on the balcony and dead center of stage! It was awesome! The show was based on Queen songs and surprisingly to myself I knew almost all of them!! It was silly though cause it was like based ion the future and had like GAGa land and stuff and they needed to bring back Rock n Roll...so it was funny! There was a guy sitting next to us that was soooo into it and was the happiest man alive...every song that they started he would rock back n forth in his seat and stick his arms out with thumbs up toward the stage (and no he wasn't retarded) he was just soo happy to be there and that made happy cause he was thoroughly enjoying it!! Afterwards we both went home. 

It was always so mice..Aunty Margret always left me cut up fruit in the morning and stuff! :) 

So then Wednesday...we were planned to meet at the London eye and do that right away...but Tat always took so long to get to the city soo I would just wonder around and went to Starbucks and just chilled...it was still nice and sunny and everyone was dying cause it was to many days in a row of neat for them...I lurved it!! So she called and said she was close so I got in line and got through the line and still no Tat. Soo the I was like whatev we will have to wait again. Mean while I made friends with all the worker people! Lol sooo when she did finally show up, one of the nice lady's was all here don't wait again go through the VIP section..which didn't have a line!!! Saawweeet!!     So we went on it and it was pretty cool!! It's sooo high... I would love to have a little party on it!! 

 View of Big Ben from the top of the Eye! 

So after that we went and headed to Buckingham palace. We were supposed to watch the guard change buuutttt....someone was running late! Oh wells! Soo we got there and saw the palace and all the people and the big gates and the big fountain...and who get the best idea to climb up the fountain...----> This girl..boo ya!!<----  soo I got awesome pictures up on the huge statue.   Then right after that a few more and few more people toyed climbing up. Lol 

But because it was soo warm there was heaps of people in the fountain..so why not! 

After all that fun we went to the Camden Markets.... There was tons and tons of markets but they were all like touristy junk...it was still fun to walk through. 

At this point Tat went home...she wanted to spend the evening with the family she was staying with aka the guy she does t like but talked about everyday!! He he he 

But that was fine!  I went downtown and saw Harrods...

Thursday was our day to fly to Italy. Tat had an early flight and mine wasn't until the evening! Soo I went and walked around Hyde park and went to see the Guard change....little did I know when I was standing right at the gate...The Queen would drive out!! Booya I saw the Queen!! 

 

The Guard change was pretty cool...but it got kinda boring! They just did same thing over and over! Lol but I needed to head back and get all my things together and take the 1 1/2 hours bus to the airport!  

But over all I LOVED London. It was great!! I would love to come back already!! But it's depressing it rains so much cause its so perfect while sunny!! 

On to Italy!
