London: Part 2

Today we all met in Leicester Square at 10:00 (well, we told Lee 9:00 so he wouldn't be late). We bought our tickets to see Wicked (£18.50) and then had a quick breakfast in a little café. I had a Boston cream donut. Then Katherine and Jo did some shopping on Oxford Street while Lee and I took a ride on a double-decker bus and a train or two. He showed me around a little, and we found a TARDIS (at Earl's Court).

Later, we all met back up in Camden Town and Lee's boyfriend, Lewis, joined us. We got lunch (I had a really messy burrito that I had to eat with a fork) and then Katherine and Jo did more shopping. I was starting to feel sick, so Lee and Lewis were going to take me back to my hotel. We stopped in Regent's Park where we walked up Primrose Hill to get a really awesome view of the city, and then I started to feel better. So we stayed out and ended up going to Hyde Park for some ice cream (I had caramel and honey comb).

Eventually we made it to Victoria Station where we got a quick pre-dinner before Wicked. I got some popcorn chicken at KFC. Then we walked over to the Astoria where we were supposed to meet Katherine and Jo for Wicked. Lee kept trying to get a hold of them, and then they finally told us they were in the wrong place about 20 minutes before the show started. They got on the tube and ran as fast as they could, and they just barely made it in time for us to get in. I'm not a huge fan of musicals, but everyone else seemed to enjoy it, so I'm glad we went.

After Wicked, we found an Italian restaurant for dinner. I had a four-cheese pizza, and it was pretty good. I had to get back to the hotel by myself, but it was pretty easy. It was about 12:30 by the time I got back, and my key for the door wasn't working. Every time they would program a key for one of my roommates, mine would stop working, and vice versa. Both my roommates were already asleep when I finally got in, so I had to try to be quiet. I wasn't used to being the last one to bed at night, haha.

Lee didn't know what this was, but I took a picture of it anyway
