My first full Saturday in the city was spent on a bus tour. We were picked up at Nido at around 10:45. It was one of those open-top busses - I was sure it was going to tip over. Apart from the fact that it was really chilly, it was awesome to see the city cohesively and all at once. We saw all the major landmarks. We didn't go in, but it helped me see where things are and what I have to go back to! On our way, we had lunch at the original Hard Rock Cafe.

After we got back, I had a lovely late afternoon catching up with Ryan and Stephanie for hours :) I don't know if it makes it easier or harder to see everyone's faces, but I'll take as much as I can get.
Katelyn, Nargis and I grabbed a pizza in the cafe before heading out to a pub at night. It wasn't an overwhelming one, and it was pretty cheap. It may just end up being one of our new hang-out spots. And when they start playing American top-40 dance songs, it didn't feel that foreign anymore.
Today we are hitting the streets for a shopping day! I'm really excited. Herrods, here we come!
