on the way back from south africa i got to stop in london for a few days and show my mom (she'd never been there before) all the sights! it's so mind-boggling to think that they have statues and buildings that are older than my country. it's such a historically rich yet amazingly modern and progressive city, it's just fantastic. below are a few of my favsie pics from the trip.
we'd just gotten off the plane, dropped off our bags and headed
to covent gardens to watch street performers and shop.
up bright and early for a ride on the london eye!
killer views of a beautiful (and massive) city.
the clock tower right at the exit of the tube.
bears at harrods.
i can't afford anything in that store.
selfie at tower bridge!
changing of the guards!
my friend is CERTAIN the queen drove by while we
were waiting for this. i believe her 50%.
union jack, double decker bus, london eye, clock tower.
doesn't get more london than that.
i love this because of my friend's hair.
it looks like a toupee about to blow off.
we ate at a pub our last night there and my mom was
really excited because our number was 53 and she's 53.
on the tube to the airport to leave london.
so sad that all of our travels were nearing the end.
the rest of our trip consisted of visiting buckingham palace, doing a harry potter walking tour, eating tesco lunch, wandering around picadilly circus, visiting an old friend out in kew gardens, chilling in hyde park, attempting to climb on the lions in trafalgar's square (spoiler alert: i couldn't get up on them), hanging out at m&m world, and TONS more. but some of those pictures are terrible so...
south africa stole my heart and london was a little like going home. it was the trip of a lifetime and i won't ever forget it. huge thanks to my mom and bestie for going on this trip with me...let's do it again???
