Fun in London: Part 1

I realized upon my arrival in London that I visited Claus in Cologne and Logan in London.  My life is inherently poetic!

So I got home from Germany on Monday evening, then had an evening flight on Wednesday to London.  I was so happy, I figured out the express bus to the airport!  I really wanted to know how to do it so that when my parents came to visit I would be an expert.  This was my first time flying with Easy Jet, a budget airline.  Besides being cheaper, it was different in that seats weren’t assigned–it was first come, first served–and you were only allowed one piece of carryon luggage, not one piece + a personal item (purse or whatever).  That meant I had to severely limit my packing so that my camera bag could fit in my duffel, but it was worth it!  I love that camera bag.  Although I maybe need to invest in a small padded camera wrap or something for future trips.

Logan (a friend from the Quad Cities who attends college in London) greeted me at the airport with a cup of Starbucks tea (woo England!) and then we took a bus and cab to his apartment, a nice 3-story house in southwest London near Wimbledon.  The layout of his house was really cool: two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor, kitchen and living/dining room on the second floor, two bedrooms and a bathroom on the third floor.  So it was like two separate apartments with a shared kitchen and living/dining room.

The next day, Logan and I set out to explore London a bit.  Luckily, he has Thursdays off from “uni,” as they call it!
