I have made it to London! Not going to do much exploring today since we just jumped a day ahead and we're pretty tired.
The plane ride was pretty good! We had our own personal screens and since we were on an Air New Zealand plane that had a Lord of the Rings on the outside, I saw to it that I watched The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey on the ride. After watching that, I listened to the soundtrack and I also watched a Coldplay live concert which is perfect because we were about to land in London and listening to them before we landed seemed like pretty good welcoming songs to greet us.
We're staying at St. Christopher's Inn which is a hostel and it's pretty cool! I've never been to a hostel and it's pretty nice. It's co-ed but whatever.
It still hasn't hit me yet! I'm in London and we got through the airport and we're at our hostel and I've met some other Semester at Sea students but it's like nothing changed...I mean I know I'm somewhere else doing other things than I normally would but for whatever reason I still can't believe I'm going on this trip, I'm really going on this adventure...
Maybe it's the lack of sleep. Maybe once I get a good night's rest I'll realize where I am and make sense when I blog. What's nice about blogging is that you get the raw experience coming straight from me as it just happened. And if none of what I'm saying is making sense, it's probably because I just need sleep.
Anywho, I'm probably going to take a nap before we head out to find some food so fairfarren for now or at least until a next update! And check out my Flickr account if you want to see more visuals!
