London's Calling

Yes, I went back. And yes, it was just as amazing If not better.

I had my first ryan air experience flying from salzburg to london. However, they only flew to stansed so i had to fly to stansed and get an hour shuttle bus to london BUT the bus was 6 pounds. talk about a deal. When I arrived in london I went to the flat to meet Gareth (kens best friend/roommate), as everyone was still at work. Gareth had bought pizzas and we ate and went out to his favorite bar on a boat on the river. It overlooks parliament and we sat and enjoyed cider as the sun set behind the beautiful city of london. After that we went back and watched our favorite Buffy and stayed up to wait for Ken to get back from work. Ken was beyond excited that I was back and we had a nice catch up.

The next day everyone had to work so that left me the perfect opportunity to do some major London exploring. I fell in love with Oxford street and spent 3 hours in Top Shop. After that retail therapy I met Ken and we bought him a new outfit for the night as well. We then went back to the flat made daquiris and then headed out to Rhiannon's birthday party in Angel. This girl is loaded and basically rented out the entire top floor of this bar. It was real nice. The next day Ken had a casting gig so I spent the morning with Charlie painting our nails and enjoying ourselves. Then I took the tube to London Bridge to meet Gareth and Martin for drinks on the river. We set up camp there all day then returned back home to then go out to a club. Ken was so funny and so drunk that he curled up on the floor of the London bus that was taking us back to his flat.

The next morning Gareth made us amazing omlets and we then headed out to a suburb of london to meet up with Lucy and Ollie who arranged an amazing bbq in Ollie's back garden. There was an abundance of home made cheesecakes and cookies and appetizers and Ollie made all sorts of marinated meats. Overall, it was the best bbq I had ever been to. On top of that I lucked out on a sunny weekend in London!! I then taught all these english how to play edward 40 hands and they all loved it. We spent the rest of the night sitting outside enjoying some music and the beautiful sky.

That trip really solidified my desire to work in London. I will be back!
