So, here we are....here we is. In da great land of England. We had a pleasant send off at the airport from Dana Shmimpiepants Sharabi, who waited with us on line to check in and do customs and say bubyeeee.
Our flight was aiight but it left late and we had a screaming baby sitting behind us...you know...average airport madness. On the plane we watched Leap Year and made a to-do list / list of goals for our trip. We each kinda sorta got like 1 full hour of sleep if you add all the actual sleep together. In Rachels words, 'its like a bad ash laila!!!'
After landing, we made our way by the London Underground (or as the cool kids call it, the Tube) to where we are staying. The last destination of the line we were on was called Cockfosters, so at every stop the train person would say 'please mind the gap. the next station is ______ . This is the train to Cockfosters' and we would start laughing. They told us to mind the gap at least every 30 seconds (legit)....and the funny thing was that there isnt really much of a gap anyways so it was pointless. Once we settled in and took showers, we decided that it would be better if we didnt take a nap and that we should just try to push through the day, so we went for a walk. Then we got on a random bus hoping to do some sightseeing on the way to a cute area called Brick Lane, where there are a lot of London hipsters and overpriced vintage stores. I got an AWESOME sequined shirt thing for £15 and a pair of fake keds for £6. We ate shwarma at this kinda sketchy but also really legit place that had a deal for a shwarma wrap and a drink for only £4. Finally we decided that it was getting late and we were literally limping, bleeding, and falling asleep so we took the bus back and then walked and now we are about to pass out.
sorry this post wasnt as funny as the last few....we arent in such a good mood because we havent really slept in 2 days.
p.s. HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY TANYA IF YOU ARE READING THIS!!!!
