London - 03/01

As mentioned yesterday, my parents decided that yesterday was family day out to London and I didn't write about it yesterday because 1. I had an hour to make a blog post and I didn't think I could do it in an hour and 2. The photos on my phone weren't cooperating and I really couldn't be bothered to try and make them cooperate at such a tired hour.

Well the photos still aren't cooperating. But I will still talk about London.

It started off with a 3 hour coach drive (and I slept through all of it).

Then when we got to London, we walked around trying to look for somewhere which sold cheap theatre tickets, which took us FOUR HOURS! Four hours of walking! My feet were so surprised, it's been ages since I walked further than from one side of my school to the other. I don't see the outside world much. Anyway, during the horrific walk we DID see the changing of the guard, so that was interesting.

When we finally got the tickets (we were going to see Wicked) we had about three hours to kill, so we went to Hamley's and oh wow it was beautiful. There were SO FREAKIN MANY toys and games and it was just like heaven. Then I found a section completely dedicated to Harry Potter and I just sort of died from fangirling (I feel sorry for the eardrums of the people standing next to me, there was a lot of squealing involved). There were bookmarks, which I have, a Hogwarts House Crest pin set, which I have, pens for each house, which I have (the Ravenclaw one, why would I want the others???), and so many other things. The wands of most of the main characters, a Luna Lovegood jewellry set and that's only naming the things I could afford! There was the sword of Godric Gryffindor, two chess sets and a £300 model of Hogwarts! I was in heaven. Couldn't buy anything though.

After that, it was time to see Wicked, which I was quite excited for because I'd heard such good things about it, a friend of mine says that she's seen it about seven times and it never gets less amazing. I think you can see what's coming. I was a little disappointed.

Don't get me wrong, it was a good show, but it really doesn't deserve all the hype it gets, but of course I'm no expert in the subject of musical theatre and that is just my opinion. I don't even really know what I didn't like about it, I just...didn't.

I know. Aren't I good at this writing thing?

Anyway, then we had the three hour coach ride home (and I slept through all of it)

Until tomorrow, toodle pip.
