I was personally very excited about the last leg of our trip, which included a few days in London. I had the amazing opportunity to study abroad in London several years ago, and this was the first chance I'd had to return to my favorite city in the entire world!
On our first day in London, we headed to two of London's most popular attractions: the Tower of London and the British Museum.
The Tower of London:
The British Museum:
High tea? Yes, please!
There are few things in life that I love more than a pot of English Breakfast tea, some warm scones, strawberry jam and clotted cream. And if you're ever in London, you should definitely take in the afternoon tea at the British Museum--it's about half the cost of the Ritz, but has just as much ambiance (and it helps that the food is also crazy delicious!).
My study abroad school, in the heart of Bloomsbury. I loved being able to wander around the British Museum in between classes! It was so weird to go back there--so much has happened in my life since 2005, but everything looked exactly the same.
