Monday afternoon I had my final, so I spent most of the day studying while Madeline explored all of the museums in South Kensington! We made time for a Wafflemeister break for lunch too... which was absolutely delicious!!
On Tuesday, Madeline and I walked to Kensington Palace then to Portobello Road Market! After enjoying the market, we went to St. Mary's Hospital to see if there was any more action at the Lindo Wing where Kate is going to have her baby!! We got there at a very exciting time when the Palace Correspondences had just arrived too!! There were tons of reporters and different news stations interviewing the Correspondences on any updates! Madeline and I just stood against the wall and got to hear all of it! It was super exciting to be there right in the thick of it, hearing all of the latest royal news!!!
After that, we met Allyson and had a traditional cream tea for the last time at the Muffin Man!! It was a perfect English afternoon!
Madeline and I shopped around on High Street a bit before coming back to the room for a few minutes! For dinner, we went to the Goat Tavern, the oldest pub in Kensington, with Allyson and Kelsey!! We all split four traditional English dishes for our last night out in London!
Me and Madeline then went on to see Billy Elliot the Musical at the Victoria Palace Theater!!
Today, Madeline and I took on Harrods, Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, Borough Market, Platform 9 3/4, and went to an Evensong Service at Westminster Abbey! (It was also extra sweet to be there on the 4 year anniversary of when Will and Kate were married there!!) What a fun last day in London!! Now we are packing up and heading off to Rome tomorrow morning at 2am!! Yikes!!
Wow... what an incredible semester this has been!! I can't believe I am leaving London tomorrow!!! It has been a terrific last week here, but it has also been very sad to say goodbye to this place I have made my home!!
Cheers for my last time from London!! =)
