Easter Weekend in London

Friday, April 18

We arrived in London really late on Good Friday and ended up having to take a taxi from the coach station to the Hostel since the tube had stopped running. This was the same hostel I stayed at in February, but we ended up getting a much nicer room! We went to sleep soon after arriving so we could rest up before a busy Saturday in the city.

You can't go to London and not take a picture of the "Mind the Gap" signs!

Saturday morning we went to a discount ticket kiosk to see if we could get tickets for any of the shows going on that night. We ended up getting the five of the last 9 tickets for Wicked! We were very lucky. We went on to Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace (Much prettier with all the tulips out front) and Big Ben to take pictures since it was Erin’s first time in London. Then we went to Oxford Circus and Covent Garden to go to the Apple Store and we also looked around in some shops before heading to Victoria to meet up with everybody for dinner before Wicked. We decided to meet at Nando’s, and Erin and I got there and sat and sat until Kat called saying we were late. We were at two different Nando’s only 5 minutes away from each other! What are the chances!

Big Ben!

Buckingham Palace with tons of tulips!

We went to Wicked and it was SO good. The actors were so talented. And the sets were so intricate! I would love to be able to see some more shows sometime!

For Easter we went to Hillsong Church. Since we love their Worship music so much we were really looking forward to it. Even though it was grey and rainy. While the worship was really nice, they didn’t do a normal preach, they showed a play that was… different. It wasn’t what we expected, but we are still glad we went.

For lunch we went to Camden Market. It was raining pretty hard, but we found a mostly covered area and got some really delicious Turkish Wraps before looking around at all the stalls. I love Camden, its such huge market, I feel like you could go every day for a week and still find new treasures!

On the way back to the Hostel we got SOAKED. I must say it wasn’t very enjoyable.

We made it an early night because Erin and I were going to Stonehenge early the next morning.
