I am super late with the rest of my travel blogs and I sincerely apologize. With that being said, I would like to finish these last two up for you all. I hope you enjoy!

My classmates and I headed by train to London; first class. It was a crazy, but AWESOME experience. On the way there, we had a layover in Belgium. Though it wasn't a long layover, I'm happy that I have the opportunity to say I've spent a little time there. Upon our arrival in the beautiful London, we walked from the train station to out hotel, King's Cross Hotel. Our first day there, I kind of wandered off alone (Literally down the street and back because I got nervous... lol). After finding my way back to the hotel, I went to McDonalds, which was directly across from the hotel and grabbed me some food. I settled in for the night while watching some European Netflix.

I went out with my roomies from the hostel back in Amsterdam. We toured the city on a hop on hop off bus. Although it was hot, we did see some awesome things. After a bit of complaining, we hopped off the bus and found a nice restaurant called The Dickens Inn. There was a different restaurant on each floor. I had wings, because why not? and a delicious J20 juice. BOMB!

We ate and then went and took pictures on the bridge then headed to go do some shopping. We walked miles trying to get to this mall, and FINALLY decided go to the Underground to finish the rest of the way. We eventually arrived at the mall and it was beautiful. There were 4 stories and all full of GOODNESS. I was able to shop at my now favorite store ever, Primark. I was hecka ecstatic about that. After shopping, we ate and left to go back to the hotel & arrived just in time to get sleep for the next morning..

We visited the Victoria and Albert Museum. This museum holds clothing from different time zones. After this, the group was split in two and the group that I was in toured Saville Row first (Day 1: Saville Row). This was a unique and once in a lifetime opportunity. We met so many great business men/women and learned so many things about how Saville Row came along as well as about Bespoke suits and so much more. On day 2, July 25th, we were granted the opportunity to tour Saville Row Academy. After the Saville row shenanigans, we went shopping.... of course!

On that same night, we got to attend The Phantom of the Opera at Majesty Theatre. It was my very first opera and I enjoyed it, to say the least.

This day was simply a 'Tour Day'. We hopped on a charter bus and headed out to our first stop: WIndsor Castle. After Windsor, we headed to Stonehenge and Bath. All of these places were beautiful and unique. Something I am proud to say I have experienced for sure.

On our very last day in London, we had the opportunity of a free day. However, we had an assignment on our hands as well. Groups had to visit the large and bouije department stores and discuss the pricing and trends in store. I ventured out on my own (yes, I rode the Underground on my own... hayyyy!) and did my portion of the project at Harvey Nichols.
