Along the Sunny Road: "It's always sunny in London...

because the roads are paved with gold."
That's what our taxi driver told us when I commented on the beautiful day. They are paved with gold because it's so expensive there!

We finally made it to London (24 hours late)! This post is a a little under a week late due to powerful jetlag, lack of internet connection and getting acclimated to Italy. It was a beautiful day, no rain or gloom and our hotel was gorgeous! We took the Heathrow Express to Paddington Station and then a quick taxi ride to our hotel. We hit Oxford street and walked around to find a pub. The fish & chips were well worth the walk. I have to admit that I thoroughly enjoyed the accent and found myself subconsciously trying to perfect my own. We also saw Buckingham Palace and Hyde Park. After the lack of sleep was too much to bear we went back to our hotel and collapsed. We then arrived at the airport the next morning around 4 am. I had to say goodbye to my mom and you would never know I was only leaving for a little over three months! It wasn't until I was by myself that i realized this is real. I'm actually spending the next three months in Italy.

Here's a few pics of my short adventure in London.
