Princess

Yesterday Sammi and I went to the Kensington Enchanted Palace. It's an old Palace in London where many famous Princesses lived including Princess Di until she died. They transformed the palace into a mystery tour. You have to go through each room and figure out the names of the 7 dancing princesses. It was pretty easy. I mean, it's ment for children to do. It was still really fun though. I like to think of myself as Princess #8.





After solving the mystery, we went to find the Peter Pan statue since I had failed to the day before.

Found it.





We stopped by the Princess Di Fountatin too. It's not much of a fountain. It's more like a man-made circular river. It didn't have any water in it yesterday which made it even MORE lame.

Then we did a little shopping. I had to buy some new shoes because the boots I brought were soaked from the day before...and are kinda falling apart.


Aren't they pretty? Fit for a Princess. Princess #8 to be exact. And ya know what? My feet at definitely shrinking. I used to be a 7-71/2. These are a UK size 4! Which is a US 6 1/2. AND they are a pinch too big for me...hmmmm curious.

We went out that night since it was my last night. No worries though, because I will be seeing Sammi in less than two weeks in Paris!

So let's see how I did with my London checklist:
1. British Museum CHECK
2. Sherlock Holmes Museum CHECK
3. Buckingham Palace CHECK
4. Big Ben CHECK
5. Tower Bridge CHECK
6. Tower of London FAIL. We missed the Ceremony of Keys because the Underground had a delay and you can't show up late! Bummer.
7. Crash the Harry Potter Premiere! (11/11/2010) CHECK CHECK
8. Globe Theatre CHECK
9. See a Broadway Show CHECK Wicked!
10. Abbey Road NOPE
11. Westminster Abbey CHECK
12. Platform 9 3/4 at Kings Cross CHECK
13. Find the Peter Pan Statue CHECK
14. London Eye CHECK

So... I did pretty well. There is still so much I want to do in and around London. I really want to go back if I have a chance anytime during the rest of the semester. I have to say, London, even though London should be known as the city of no personal space, and it was cold, has been my favorite experience thus far during my semester in Europe. I loved the city. There was so much to do and it was beautiful. Sammi is so lucky to be studying there.

Sadly, I had to fly back today.
