My last day of London began in a club (kinda cool--ooh, and I never mentioned that last nights disco was my first clubbing experience), furthered with a 4 AM wake-up call (accident), supplemented a markets and shopping, and ended quite WIKEDLY! ;)
SO the club ended, we got home at 2:30 AM or so... you heard the story. Oh, wait, I don't think I told the end. We took cabs home (one of the boys got wasted and was not permitted into the first cab), and us girls tried our best to converse with him to keep him from passing out.
At 4 AM, I was shockingly awoken by my phone ringing. My friend had forgotten I was in Europe, so didn't think I'd be in the middle of sleep. Luckily, after a late night out, I was able to sleep in until about 9:30, got ready, did some computer networking and was gonna go about to explore by myself or maybe with Nicole H (thinking everyone had already left the hostel), but it turned out that my friends (that went discoing with me) were just waking up when I was doing my computer stuff, so Nicole and I were able to go with the "family". :)
We got Starbucks (Chai Frap :d), went to see London Bridge (not quite as impressive as I expected), walked and shopped through a Farmers' Market (a newly acquired hobby), chilled in a park (where it's £1.50 to sit on provided lawn chairs!), I sang to some pigeons, and we did some shopping. We were late for meeting for dinner, and my group was supposed to leave early because our show at the theatre (Wicked) started a half hour earlier than everyone elses. So the Wicked group headed towards the theatre and got dinner at a cute Italian ristorante across the street (Sprite, bread, and Ricotta & Spinach Crepes--not super yummy cause it tasted more like chowder, and it was unfortunate that the plate burned my finger). The show, Wicked, was AWESOME! I greatly recommend seeing it! I adored and related to "Elphi". Now it's bedtime... leaving the Hostel around 8 AM, get home at 2 PM. Can't wait to see everyone... esp. Mom and Jess at the airport! P.s. I think I spelt Hostel wrong a few times... I've definitely not been staying in hostiles... lol That'd be scary.
A wrap-up blog tomorrow + reflections. :)
