London

Last week we ventured down to the big smoke to attend an appointment at the US Embassy for our Visas.

We traveled down on a sleeper bus (which was an interesting experience to say the least!) on the Tuesday evening from Buchanan Bus Station and arrived at London Victoria at 6.30am on the Wednesday morning. We were welcomed by grey skies and misty rain - not the weather we had hoped for! The weather, however, didn't dampen our spirits and, with jackets on and hoods up, we set off to explore the sights of London.

   

Big Ben - London

From window shopping on Oxford Street to getting lost in history at The Natural History Museum - after 18 hours on the go we were very thankful for a comfy bed and hot shower at night. We attended the Embassy the following day and everything went smoothly. After 3 looonnnnggg hours our Visa applications were approved!

On the ride home I reflected on the short amount of time I had spent in London. London is a very exciting and extremely fast paced city with a constant buzz through it's busy streets. I love this city! Although, I couldn't help but notice that people always seem to be in a rush - there is no such thing as a casual walk in London! Packed like a herd of sheep being guided through the tube stations, I saw literally hundreds of frantic commuters rushing here, there and everywhere - the majority with earphones in or their head stuck in the morning's paper.


With our Visas sorted, we are now one step closer to beginning our exciting adventure in BOSTON!!!!
