Being a Tourist...

Saturday we got the chance to be complete tourists and take a guided bus tour of London's most famous attractions. Our guide was Scottish, which was a bit odd but still was great and made us laugh throughout the trip. We didn't get a chance to get out much—except for Buckingham Palace, Canary Warf, and St. Paul's Cathedral—but I still managed to take about 250 photos of the sites from the bus. (they are all uploaded on my flick'r page as of today) It was nice to get a gentle overview of the city. While we drove I was making a list of all the places I wanted to see in more detail.

That night we went to Covent Garden and signed up for a Pub Crawl. I had never been on one but my roommates assured me it would be worth it. For ₤12 we got into 5 pubs and got access to drink specials and even free drinks in a few pubs. It was a good way to get introduced to various pubs in the area. We went to two traditional English pubs and one American pub called the Roadhouse. It was great! It had Route 66 and 7Eleven signs, Coca-Cola memorabilia, Jimi Hendrix posters and big trucks and things all over the walls. The end of the crawl lead us to the Zoo bar and club. The cover itself was ₤15 but we got in for free! We spent the rest of the night dancing and having a good time and got to experience the night bus antics on the way home.
