Cheers, London!

This update is going to be kinda short because we're literally out the door in a few minutes. Buuuut I have to try to make is good because it's the last one...that's a lot of pressure. I'll just do the highlights plus a ton of photos. And since a picture says a thousand words, and there's like 20 photos in this post...that's over 20,000 words, which is waaay more than the other posts we've made. Yay! I feel better.

Yesterday was fun! We woke up late and missed the first bike tour we were supposed to go on at 11, but made it juuust in time for the one at 3:30! Below are photos of us at Golder's Green station, our favorite and temporary home.

The bike tour was four hours long. I know what you're thinking, jesus christ they go on a lot of bike tours, they must reeeallly like to ride bikes! Actually, before this trip it had been about three years since I even sat ass on a bike, and like ten years for Audrey. Somehow we ended up taking a bike tour of every European city that we visited. They were all so much fun! Neither of us fell once and we only had two almost collisions. Honestly I can't imagine a better way to tour a city, t'was a blast. As soon as I have money for anything other than rent and food I'm buying me a bike! Huntington Beach to Irvine by bike? Best work out ever.

Anyway, we met up with our group around three-thirty and started a-ridin'! Pictured below is Matt, our tour guide... We fell in love. He's asked me to marry him and we're moving into that palace pictured behind him. Some queen lives there now but Matt said it shouldn't be a problem. He's British, I trust him.

This is us in front of Buckingham Palace right before the royals asked us to come in and join them for afternoon tea! Unfortunately they wouldn't allow us to photograph anything inside the palace, including the make-out seshes with William and Harry. Something about national security-- we understood completely. I'm sure you do too.

We thought this gate was the most amazing thing ever. Unicorn dancing with a lion? Yes, please!

Cutest squirrel ever!

Our goals today were to go to Abbey Road, Hamstead Heath one last time, and Camden market. We accomplished all three but with much wandering and getting lost. It was the nicest day ever though, so we didn't really mind.

In case you can't tell, that's a cat in a yellow submarine.


We were going to try and take better quality shots from the correct angle but it's actually a really high traffic area. Apparently drivers get kinda pissed when you stop in the middle of the road and pose. We gave them the finger a few times, fuck you we came a looong way to get this shot. But then my camera was acting weird and Audrey got stung by an A-BEE-Y road bee so we were over it.

The Heath!


Camden Market!

Well, I better stop here. We're going to some house party in central London tonight! Gotta say bye to everyone before we leave tomorrow.

America, here we come! MBO us a safe flight.
