In exactly 20 days, 1 hour, and 40 minutes ( from time of typing this ) I will be taking off from sydney international airport, grinning with excitement and adrenalin, probably squished inbetween two people who make me feel uncomfortable, on my way and headed to .......
L O N D O N ! ! ! ! !
For those of you who dont know, I will be reuniting with my high school best friend who I havent seen in over 4 years!
Thats a long ass time, but we kept in touch, and ended up keeping a pinky promise to see eachother once school was over. SO finally the day has come ( almost ) where we can see eachother again and I cant tell you how beyond thrilled and excited I am to actually be face to face in person seeing her.
Im there for 3 weeks, but 4 of those days is travelling alone :p so were down to approximately 2 weeks, in that time I will be seeing my best friend and staying with her family for a bit of course who live about an hour outside of the london city, then her and I will be staying in central london for 3 nights and 4 days so I can go full tourist and jam pack all the london sightseeing in while im there, as well as catching up and staying with another friend of mine who has recently moved over to england just a month or so ago which will be really nice as well.
So of course by now I have been planning and researching and scouring every inch of the internet about everything to do and see in london, reading every " london hacks" post and " best cheap eats in london" list. And with that I have cultivated quite a bucketlist of my own, of course I probably wont get around to even half of this bucket list, but someone else might who reads this :p
SO, here is my London Bucketlist for sightseeing, attractions, food and more !
