Travelogue: London
I've spent some time in a bunch of cities many people have never visited: Budapest, Florence, Barcelona, Vienna. But I've never been to London or Paris! So, that's what I'll be doing this and next weekend.
My morning started early (5:30am!) due to my 7:55am flight out of Florence, but I can safely say I made it. After watching my cab whiz past me, realize his error, and then back up at a rapid speed down a one-way street, I made it to Florence's airport. At security, one of the guards was playing with his gun, which was a tad unsettling.
The flight itself was rather uneventful. Upon arriving at London Gatwick, I figured out I had to take a train to the center of the city. Unfortunately for me, I had made few prior arrangements with the friends I was meeting here. So, I sent some emails, and wandered around with my bag on wheels. I saw a bunch of sites in the center of London until the storm (yes, it deserves bold) came! Though the forecast for today was "light rain," the storm tore my umbrella to pieces and soaked my luggage.
That's okay, though. I established contact with my friends, checked in to my hostel, and am now off for Thanksgiving in London!
Happy Thanksgiving!
