The London Game: Real Life Edition

I have to say. The London Game did not prepare me for London in real life. I probably would still be lost on the streets, or run over by cars, bikes and strollers, if it wasn't for new friends. Thank goodness for those! 

Needless to say, I have arrived safely in London. The flight and travel was a little rough (what traveling isn't a little rough?), so I've been more than a little short on sleep, but I've already found some friends and we spent the day exploring around our area. We did lots of walking around, and found more than a few benches to sit and just enjoy the weather on. Thankfully there has been no rain and we even saw some sunshine this afternoon! The Kensington gardens were beautiful, and more than a few pictures were taken. We even found the Princess Diana Fountain Memorial where we took off our shoes and splashed around. The water was a bit chillier than I'm used to, but it did help keep me awake. I'm also pretty sure I saw Uncle Vernon waiting in a taxi outside the gardens, which I enjoyed greatly.

If it weren't for all the walking, I probably would have spent the day in bed. But I have made it past that so far - and our whole group is planning a trip out tonight to a pub so that we can mingle, have dinner and kick back a little. I probably won't make it much past dinner time, having been up so long, but I'll be ready to start all the tours tomorrow!

I'd post some pictures from today, but I don't have my cable to upload them. Those will come in time!

As for now, I'm going to find something for my stomach. I think I've had more caffeine than food these past twoish days. The fun truly begins tomorrow when we start orientation and our bus tour of London. Though who knows, maybe some fun will happen tonight.
I'll keep you updated.
