Amelia in London

 So I land at 10 AM so 2 AM my time and I'm rearing to go. We drive from the hotel and I have mini panic attacks every time the driver makes any sort of turn into what I think is the "wrong lane". Then our driver stops and says 'we're here'. I look out the window and see this. I did not think it looked like a hotel at all but I was up for anything. 

It was a pretty quiet day and I met some great new people. This is when we went to Hyde Park and saw the squirrels who would stalk you and as soon as you stopped walking they would go right up to you with the awkward pigeons following them. There's a video of it on my fb.

I was pretty homesick the whole time, it was awful! But we didn't have free wi fi in our hotel so  I couldn't just sit and wallow in my room all day (thank god). London was a weird limbo I wasn't expecting and I really just wanted to go unpack and get settled in.
