Scotland: London

Haha, that title doesn't really make sense, but seeing London is really just part of our Scotland trip.

After couch surfing in the morning we got up and headed out early. We went and saw Tower Hill (Tower of London) which was very close to where we stayed the night.

 After that we took the underground to the Westminster stop, which when you walk up the stairs to the street, you're literally staring up at Big Ben. I love Big Ben and was so excited to see it right away! We had all of our luggage with us, but we both only used a carry on for the entire 2 week trip, so it was doable to bring our luggage. Westminster Abby is right around the corner so we saw that after, but it was really expensive to go inside and we didn't have time, so we just walked around.
After this we walked around for a bit and ended up walking over to Buckingham Palace. It wasn't really what I expected. It was much more plain than I expected after seeing pictures of some of the homes and palaces of the Queen. The guard was there though, so it was cool to see them.

Just me and the guard chilling out.
After this we wandered around and found cool buildings on our way to Victoria station to catch a train to Gatwick Airport.
This was my favorite, it was a hotel called "The Albert" on Victoria street. Get it? If you don't, go watch The Young Victoria... immediately.

Up Next: Glasgow
