London: chim chiminey chim chiminey chim chim cher-oo!

Did I wander around singing Mary Poppins songs? Yes I did.
A few weeks ago I had two days in London. Remy and I left Ireland at 3 am on Friday and left London at 3 am on Sunday. It was quite the whirlwind trip. We stayed at the Walrus Waterloo which is right by the London Eye and the Waterloo station. (And yes, the bar attached to the hostile was totally Beatles themed...a little bit.)

London is HUGE. I had no idea it would be that large. And it was surprisingly pretty. I did not expect my buddy Ben to be so shiny and golden in person.

Enjoy our adventures:
Day 1.
Westminster Bridge, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben
Cute market off of Victoria Street
Buckingham Palace
St. James Park
National Portrait Gallery
Market by the London Eye

"feed the birds, tuppence a bag..."


I speak fluent squirrel. 


Remy took this one... of cray cray bird lady
The geese in St. James park were really intimidating...


In honor of Harry Potter, all of the employees at this theater dressed up like Hogwarts students.



Finding wine and free Jazz is a talent of mine



Day 2.
British Museum
New Oxford Street
St. Paul's Cathedral
Tower Bridge
Steak and Jazz at The Duke in Waterloo
Harry Potter 7.1 at the BFI IMAX


This is what I aspire to be like...


Lady Ireland.

The New World!


... I have no idea....


Please note the building that kind of looks like a nipple.



Please note the Tower Bridge.







Look! The nipple building AND the Tower Bridge...oh my gosh I wonder which two girls were just there? 
I'm obviously totally cool and blase about the whole thing.

Yeah right, I was just being ironic. Of course I had to make an ass of myself because I was all excited about the coincidence. 



 french mustached roommates ... or were they italian? 
I don't know...good night Remy!!
