Welcome to London!!!

London.

Day 1 and I am already EXHAUSTED!!! Early beginnings to be first for the Harry Potter Studio tour (for the nerd within!). 

It was MAGICAL. Sorrynotsorry!

Even for non-HP-fans, it is still an incredible experience! It is a HUGE must-see for those with London on their to-do list. Make sure to go early, otherwise you'll be waiting in line for over an hour to get in.

Next I took the train to Portobello road for the markets and I've never seen anything like it! I could easily have spent all day looking at antiques, silverware, paintings, classic literature and music, not to mention the FOOD!!! There were countless stalls offering anything your stomach desires! And all of this is surrounded by very historic, quaint, colourful buildings FILLED with personality.

13 hours, total of 6 trains, over 13,000 steps.....and now I'm passing out!!!

Cheers, Josephine
