London, Day 2

Day two in London was my bus trip! Started off super early with a tube ride to meet the shuttle. Was greeted by a hilarious old man who shuttled a group of us around in an old Harrod's bus to the bus terminal. My tour ended up getting cancelled because only 5 of us signed up, so we were bumped to the tour of our choosing. I chose Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Bath. It was great, the only thing I wish was that we'd had more time at each location. I loved Windsor Castle, its the Queen's permanent residence and it is so beautiful. We got a tour of the apartments, grounds, and some of the collectables, including an awesome old dollhouse belonging to Queen Anne. Next stop was Stonehenge, which was definitely amazing and fascinating!! We had lunch in a small pub along the route near the house where Harry Potter's parents lived in Wharton, England. Our final stop was Bath, where we had time to just roam. I enjoyed a stop at the Jane Austen museum, the Roman Baths, and Bath Abbey. I met a nice mid-western couple who thought I was 18... Got home super late, around 10:30, which I was not expecting, so I was exhausted, but so glad I decided to do the tour.
