London with Sam is absolutely wonderful! We had a ton of fun, and our hotel was close to a tube station, so it was very easy to get everywhere we wanted to go.
The first day, we went to two musicals, both of which were fantastic. We bought student rush tickets for both, which are very discounted tickets that you can only buy the day of the show. Les Miserables was in the afternoon, and it was excellent. All the voices were beautiful, and every character was spot-on. I feel very lucky that I got to see my favorite musical of all time on Broadway in London! We saw Legally Blonde that night, which was so much fun! The show has a ton of energy, lots of strong voices and lots of dancing. The entire play was hilarious and I'm glad we were able to go!
The second day we were there it was raining, so we went downtown to see Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Parliament, Buckingham Palace and caught the last half of the New Years Day parade by chance. After, we got out of the rain and went to the National Gallery, a beautiful art museum with paintings from a lot of different eras. We headed back in the late afternoon, and saw "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" at a theater by our hotel.
The next day we went to the British Museum, a history museum where we saw exhibits about Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, the Americas, China, Japan, Korea, Africa, and a little bit of Natural History. We spent the entire morning there, and after lunch, we walked around parks in the neighborhood. It was lovely, and I definitely want to go back to the museum someday.
We had a really great time in London, and had some delicious English breakfasts and had fun just walking around and exploring the city. :)
