Days 3 and 4 - consider yourself at home

(read the following blog post in a british accent)



Ello chaps! It's been a while and we've been rather busy. A tad too busy to even write the blog! However, we are here now, checkin in with you all about more of our adventures in London.



The club on Saturday night was rather cool, however it seems as though in London, people don't go out until about 12:30am, and by the time the club was hoppin, we were ready to be sleepin. So lesson number one aboue partying in Europe: go home and take a nap till midnight, then go out so you can party the night away. Also, drinks are quite expensive from bars in clubs, so buy drinks at a store and drink a bit beforehand to avoid spending all of your pounds.



On Sunday, we awoke rather late at a whopping 1pm. We quickly got out and hit the town, conquering the Tate and the Tate Modern museums. We also took a look at the Shakespeare Globe theatre and walked across the Millenium Bridge to St. Pauls cathedral. Then we took the tube to Holland Park, and went to the COOLEST playground we had ever seen (yes, cooler than Israeli playgrounds). Then we walked around the neighborhood and it was a cute area. It was where my father lived when he lived in London. Then we were off to bed.



Yesterday, we took the tube to Convent Garden, another cute area with good food and theatres. We got tickets to Oliver the musical for only £18, and then we went to the British Museum, where we saw the Rosetta Stone and many other cool Egyptian artifacts, after which we decided that our next trip should include Egypt. Then we took the tube to Harrods, the famous department store that is like a mix of Bergdorf Goodman and the Macy's on 33rd street. It was HUGE and full of very expensive things like designer clothes, bags, shoes, furniture, and even designer pets (not kidding).



At 7:30, we went to our preformance of Oliver the musical which was SO AMAZING!!! In the UK, they use actual little kids to play little kids, and none of these kids could have been older than 13 or 14. They were adorable and the kid who played Oliver looked just like Aiden. The sets were magnificent and so intricate and mechanical and choreographed that it makes Broadway in New York look amateur.



So here we are, on day 5 of our trip and in an hour we will leave our little home in London and be off to Brussels, by Eurostar train. We should arrive at our hostel in Brussels at around 9:30 or 10pm, and then we will go out for famous Begian fries and Belgian beer. I can't wait to brush up on my Francais.



a bientot!
