Today we made the relatively short journey from Bath to London. We pulled up to the hotel, unloaded our luggage and checked into our rooms. We had our travel passes, and we used them to take the bus to Oxford Street. We walked around and checked out some of the stores. One of the stores in particular, Primark, was chaotically crowded. The masses of people in that one store possessed the caliber of five Black Friday shopping days. The line to try clothes on was at least 50 people long! Deciding to beat the crowd early the next day, we left and searched for a place to eat dinner. Eventually we found a Tex Mex restaurant and ate there.
We walked back to our hotel and relaxed for a little bit while deciding what our evening plans should entail. Finally we agreed to check out the hookah bar located two blocks from our hotel. We met two French boys and three Dutch boys. They were all very friendly and fun. After they left, we met two English boys and played a game of cards with them. The night was coming to an end-or so we thought- and we decided to leave the hookah bar and go back to our hotel. On the way back, we met a group of people who were staying across the street from us. They invited us out to a club called Punk, so we joined them. We took the bus to Piccadilly Circus, and then walked the rest of the way to the club. As we were approaching the entrance, we saw that the line was extremely long, but Cameron, one of our newfound friends, walked right up to the bouncer and gave him his name, which was on the list for the night. We waited zero minutes and only had to pay half of the cover charge! We danced our first night in London away and had a fabulous time! We left the club when we started to get tired and surprisingly ran into Juanita and Chelsea at the bus stop. While waiting for our bus to pull up, we met an actor and an actress from one of London’s current plays, entitled Blood Brothers. I also had an interesting conversation with a man about prejudices in Europe. Finally getting back to our hotel, we went upstairs and fell asleep. London has proven to be an exhausting, yet exciting, town.
