London day two! The second day in London we rode the same bus from the base to the middle of London. We had decided to go ahead and ride the hop on hop off bus again so we wouldn't have to pay for another mode of transportation. However as we get to the bus stop Kayln realized she had lost her key to open her purse haha. Several of the girls are rightly worried that they will get pick pocketed so they got some locks to made it harder for people to steal from them. However, this ended up being a problem because Kayln's bus pass and all her money were in her purse locked up. So me and Gwyn go back with her to retrace our steps in an attempt to locate the key. Like in most cases we were not successful. Gwyn ended up breaking into her purse for here with not too much damage. Then we start walking back to the bus stop and after about 30 min Kayln starts laughing. It just so happened that she had put the key between her tights and her jeans so after walking for awhile it had worked its way down into her boot! Needless to say we laughed for a good 5 minutes.
After that fiasco we climbed up the London Tower bridge and got to walk across the top and look out over the river. The rest of the day we spent trying to make it to the English museum, which was a must on my list because I wanted to see the Rosetta Stone! We went ahead and got a day pass for the Underground and got out at Kings Cross train station really quick to see the Harry Potter 9 3/4 platform. It was a little bit of a disappointment because it was under construction but we are in Europe so that is going to happen. Then we finally reached the museum and had time to see all the highlights. The museum was beautiful in itself but it also had some great works of art and we needed an entire day to see it all.
Later Gwyn, Kayln, and I headed back to meet up with the other girls. All of us met up a a cute pub called the King's head. It was a quaint English pub with a nice place to sit and eat. We got to eat some good food then headed back to the tour bus. That was the festivities for our first weekend in London !
