Our two days in London in pics






Our two days in London were amazing and jammed with stuff we saw. It was rainy and pretty cold the whole time but it didn't stop us from seeing pretty much all London has to offer.
Pic #1 - We took the Big Red Bus tour and someone commentated on the whole London experience. Totally worth the money. (side note...everything in London is ridiculously expensive.) Alyssa and I wore these totally stylish rain jackets because we wanted to be on the top level and take pics in the rain.
Pic #2 - Alyssa and I outside the National Gallery. Probably both of our favorite place in London. Could of spent 4 weeks inside. Paintings from Michaelangelo, Rafael, Rembrandt, Picasso, Monet. It was crazy, you totally get lost inside...room after room of paintings...some taking up entire walls. If you're ever in London it's a must!
Pic #3 - Big Ben and Parliament. It's impossible to capture how big these buildings are. It's almost surreal standing in front of it. We also hit up Buckingham palace and saw the changing of the guard.
Pic #4 - Westminster Abbey. We took a tour inside that was awesome. It's still a functioning church...they pause every hour for prayer. So many kings and queens buried inside. The ceiling and stained glass are worth the trip. I was blown away by the detail of this building.
Pic #5 - Alyssa on the tube. We took it everywhere. Experts by the end of our time. We only took it in the wrong direction once...I was pretty proud.
