The Syracuse University abroad program hosts an awesome weekend for the students, filled with sightseeing, trips, walks, bike tours, and more!
I chose to take part in 4 different activities, the most you could sign up for at one time. I settled on the boat tour, Westminster Abbey, the Eye, and finally, an open-top bus tour around the city.
You already had the pleasure of viewing my pictures from Westminster Abbey, so I won't bore you with the details of that spectacular place of worship again. Yesterday, as I mentioned, I was able to take a flight on the Eye and take a cruise down the river. Because I vary between my phone and camera for pictures, sometimes I cannot upload all of my pictures at once to share with you! Sometimes it is easier to write a post on my phone, then I can directly upload the pictures from my phone. However, pictures taken on my camera cannot be added to a post unless I type it on my computer... blah blah blah. So finally! Some awesome pictures from the London Eye and boat tour!
Most of the SU students who attended the boat tour. More people should've come - it was a great time!

Even got Big Ben in the background.
So tonight, we went on a 1.5 hour tour of London by bus and it was so worth it! I don't have any pictures to share, as the bus was moving the entire time. We covered everything from the Great Fire to Buckingham Palace to the banking district to anything else you can think of! I have so many new places I aspire to check out as the result of this adventure. Yes, it was freezing, as we were on the top of a double decker bus... in the open air! But it was so worth it.
Thank you Syracuse Abroad for planning an awesome weekend and for making me LOVE London. Here's to week 3 (already?!) of classes and for our impending weekend trip to Scotland this weekend! Super excited to check out some castles!
Hope you all had a great weekend and thanks for checking in with me. Keep checking in daily!
