Just a Saturday....in London

My morning started at 7:00 in the morning and ended at 11:30pm. Here in a nut shell is what happened:
Our First stop was portabella market. It is this massive market that takes several blockes up with tents and shops of fruit, veggies, bread, clothes, antiques, and so much more. It was really cool and I probably could have stayed there all day but we spent a few hours there. Amiee and I found one stand that had a bunch of brittish army jackets and royal guard uniforms. Of course I tried some on!
Trafalger square was our next stop and we walled down White Hall. We stopped at the royal horse stables and took my picture with the guards on horses. I couldn't toch the horses though..they would bite!
From the end of White Hall I saw the coolest thing...BIG BEN and it is big! As we walked farther down we saw Parliment and Westminster Abbey. Parliment was goregous and I couldn't get over how detailed it was and how big it was. I got to hear Big Ben chime while we were there and we then made our way over to the London Eye.
Before we met our group for the London Eye, Amiee took me to a side street right by the London Eye. There are a bunch of street preformers that when you pay them they move or do something. There was a queen and a man who looked like captain hook and I got my picture with them. I also got my picture with a cowboy who let me hold his gun. The cool thing about these street preformers is the fact they look like statues unless you pay them. It is unreal how real they look and how still they stand.
After that funness...we met everybody for the London Eye. The London Eye is the biggest ferris wheel in the world! We waited in line for an hour...even with a scheduled appointment. But it was worth it...the London Eye went soooo high and I could see everything from up there. It took about 45 min to get all the way around and it doesn't stop so you have to be quick as you get off. After the London Eye we went over to St. Pauls Cathedral and fed the birds...tupins, tupins...and went over to the globe theater where all of Shakesphere's plays are preformed. After a quick bite to eat we went back to the hostel to change for WICKED!!!! I got to the Apollo Victoria Theater and I had some high expectations for the play..and they were all exceeded greatly! The play was amazing and so much fun to see with all of my new/old friends! By the time the play finished and we walked back to the hostel my feet were ready for a break and it was time to get in bed and sleep.
