Some Rules Are Made to be Broken

I had a great time visiting Holly in London. I saw all the main tourist attractions and more. There was never a dull moment and there was always plenty to do. I spent quite a bit of money but… well… when in London?? Haha.

Holly didn’t have class on Wednesday, so that was by far our busiest day. We woke up fairly early to go buy tickets to the musical Wicked and for the London Bus Tour. Our tickets to Wicked were only around 30 pounds. (Keep in mind this is a professional musical. Broadway quality!) The bus tour took us around London and stopped here and there so people could get off and take pictures or do whatever. We stopped at Buckingham Palace, Westminster and Big Ben. We then had lunch and made our way to the Freud Museum!! Sadly, pictures aren’t allowed in the museum. It was neat to look around Freud’s old London home and the greatest gift shop of all time but… something was just missing. My only regret about my entire London trip was that I didn’t jump the rope and lie on Freud’s couch. Of course, if I were to break that rule, breaking the photography rule would be a given! Honestly, wouldn’t it be worth the being kicked out and paying a fine to lie on FREUD’S COUCH??? I certainly think so! lol. I should have done it… It would have made a great story for the grandkids someday! For real, of all the museums to get kicked out of and for all the reasons to get kicked out, that would have been the best, hands down!! Then it was back to Primark to do a bit more shopping... (I told myself I wouldn’t buy many clothes in Europe… oops). After a quick dinner, we rushed over to the theater to see Wicked. Neither Holly nor I had ever seen it. It was a great show! I may have taken a couple of “illegal” photos of the set… Somehow, we still had a bit of energy after the show and decided to go check out the London Bridge at night. It’s sooo pretty!

Thursday was my last full day of London. We went to the Tower of London (pictures weren’t allowed, but I snuck a few anyway) after lunch for a few hours and then made a quick trip to Hyde Park. After Holly got out of class I decided we should go back to The Rocket for dinner. We went via double decker bus this time around. It was great. :) We clocked in fairly early since I had to wake up at 4:00am to go back to Germany the next morning. Like I said, great trip, but I should have jumped over the rope and lied on Freud’s couch…
