Post #9 London part 1

I think we may have seen every single tourist attraction there is in London. I got to see things that i did last time i was there and i also got to experience a couple of new things. The first night we went to an amazing Mexican restaurant. Weirdly enough, England actually has some pretty good Mexican food. It's not quite as good as the stuff in the sates but it holds its own and they definitely know how to do the drinks. We had one of the best sangrias i've ever had! After dinner a group of us headed off to try and get into the ultra exclusive Mahiki night club. We got all the way there, with our names on this list, only to realize that you had to be 21 to get in and half of our group wasn't. oh well it was still a good experience. A couple days later we did the changing of the guard. I got to do this last time i was in London but i really didn't remember it. It was definitely a unique and very touristy experience. Another fun day was when we spontaneously decided to venture to Greenwich. We actually stumbled on the movie set for Guliver's Travels. We talked to one of the guards who said that Jack Black was starring in it but we didn't get to see him. It was still a really neat experience though! Next we hiked up the hill to the Royal Observatory to see the Prime Meridian. We got to straddle it and took all kinds of pictures. This turned out to be a great day even though we didn't have any plans originally.
