Well, I decided to break it up a bit. Here are a few pics from our a mazing day in London. I loved London! I am pretty sure I could live there.

We took the train from where we were staying into the city. This was quite an experience because we began to see the fashion difference. Tracey & Mindy were quite shocked. 

We made it into the city and did a bus tour that allowed us to hop on and hop off where we wanted to. So we got to see tons of stuff. There is still so much I would like to see but was able to see a fair amount of stuff. 

The Queen was at Buckingham Palace when we were there. Someone important was dropped off by horse and buggy. It was pretty cool. The changing of the guards only happens every other day in the winter. So, what I would like to know do they stand out there for 2 days then in the winter. That would be insane. 

Mindy has been to London a few times and gave Tracey and I the option of doing the whole London Eye experience. We both were like lets wait and see. So we did a cruise down the Thames which was part of our package. It was very cool and cold. But tons of fun. 

Then we took a taxi and decided to go see if we could by chance get cheap tickets to see Wicked. THe taxi ride was tons of fun and later found out we did something illegal getting into the first taxi. Oooooppppps. 

Well, we arrived at the Victoria Theater and they rolled out the red carpet. Oh wait not hey didn't. But we went inside and met our new friend Mars. She was great she got us seats in the stalls (aka the floor) for super good deal. We were all jumping and being silly. Mars even joined in our fun.

Before the show we decided we would get fish & chips. For anyone who knows me well, know I do not like fish, but I really enjoyed fish & chips. Mars pointed us in the direction of a great restaurant. It had great atmosphere and super food. Then the excited threesome sang their way back to the theater. We took our seats with anticipation. This was Tracey and I's first time seeing a show in either New York or London. I had seen some of the traveling shows but nothing like this. I think the pic says it all! 

Wicked was AMAZING!!!!!!!!! The girl who played Elphaba was incredible. So, I am hooked. It was such a great way to end the day in London. We took the train back and got our things together to leave for Turkey bright and early in the morning. Meaning we only got a few hours of sleep. 

London is a city i will be coming back to soon. I truly loved the culture and atmosphere. Hopefully the next trip to London will be very soon.
