London

First thing in the morning we were up and on the road, heading back into France. We made our way to the town of Dunkirk and caught the car ferry back over to England!
It’s nice to be back in an english speaking country, somewhere we feel a bit more comfortable. We have almost two weeks here, which gives us a bit of time to rest up and get prepared for Russia!

Although we were back on the right side of the road, now we are on the wrong side of the car. It’s a little bit stressful and scary being stuck in the gutter, but we are getting used to it. Although when we go into a parking garage it’s a bit weird that I have to grab the ticket. 

We spent a night in a town near Dover, called Gravesend. Then it was back to London.
I think London is most definitely one of our favourite places, it is a really cool city. The first thing we did was head to the Chinese embassy to sort out our visa’s, which all went well and we should be getting them back next week. With that weight off our minds, we decided to head back to Kings Cross and have a look at Platform 9 3/4, which Sam has a whole new appreciation for after reading the whole Harry Potter series. 

We stayed a little way out of the city, but we caught the bus in each day. Since we have already done all the tourist stuff, it was nice to be able to just wandering around the streets and see more of the city.
We had a look around Oxford St and Regent St, unfortunately it was just a look. But we also had a look around Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square and Leicester Square. 

We had a very brief look around the Nation Gallery and National Portrait Gallery, but decided it wasn’t really our thing. 

Piccadilly Circus is cool, we went and saw a movie and had dinner there and it was crazy busy. 

For the four days we spent in London this time, we actually didn’t do much. We just kind of looked around some of the places we missed last time and some areas like Soho and Mayfair that we had heard a lot about. It was nice to just have some time to relax and take it easy.
