That was a loooooong flight with really, really bad food, which made it even longer! It was either pre-cooked tortellini, a chicken thing, or beef stew... Yuck. The salad was good though! Somehow I dropped or misplaced my boarding pass before I got on the plane, so they had to print me a new one, which wasn't a big problem, but still kind of embarrassing. Six hours later we're in London. One of the other girls had booked a shuttle because she didn't want to take the train, and I was going to go with her. We couldn't find it. No one seemed to have any idea what we were talking about. Sooo we wandered around the airport for an hour or so looking for it before we decided just to head for the trains.
Anyway, this place is amazingly beautiful. We were beginning to fly over the UK just as the sun was coming up. There were tons and tons and tons of clouds and were so poufy that it made you want to run and jump in them. The countryside was gorgeous. Every pasture was some different shade of green, with some ranging into browns. They were all separated by rows of hedges. When we got to the outskirts of the cities, you could see each little house with it's perfectly rectangular yard fenced in by its own smaller line of hedges. There were no real street blocks here, which I found entertaining. It mostly seemed like there was a maze of streets and tons of dead ends!
Flying over London we could see the River Thames, Buckingham Palace, The London Eye, and Tower Bridge. I didn't take any pictures though, I didn't feel like getting my bag out of the luggage rack :-\
I went with some friends to walk in Regent's Park this afternoon, which was beautiful. There are several football (soccer) fields, ponds, an outdoor theatre... and lots of squirrels. The Queen's Garden was probably one of the most beautiful places Id ever seen. I'll put the pictures up later. It's so insane.... You just want to lay on the ground and soak it all in, which I did.
