Brief update: I had a really fun weekend. My flatmates and I went to a live music festival (which actually wasn't as good as I was hoping) and then went out in Trafalgar Square on Saturday to celebrate Jenna's birthday (one of the girls I live with.) Then on Sunday I got to visit Buckingham Palace - some of the rooms are open this summer for public viewing, so it was really cool to go inside. Sadly, but expectedly, you can't take pictures inside. Here's a picture of Jenna and I outside the back of the palace, though, overlooking the Queen's MASSIVE gardens.
I haven't finished planning my Fall Break yet, and I was waiting until I had all my travel plans finalized to blog about them all together, but I'm getting too anxious and excited. My flatmates and I all booked a weekend trip to Amsterdam in mid-November. I had layovers in Amsterdam on my way to and back home from South Africa, and I am going to enjoy having some time to spend in the city. My calendar for the semester is starting to take shape!
Amsterdam = very cool. I really enjoyed it while I was there, definitely a must see. Rent a bike and go for a ride around the city so you can see more of it, it's the one thing I wish I had had time to do! That, and go to the Red Light District. I also didn't get to do that. I heard it was sick to see though.
ReplyDeleteThose are two things I was planning on doing while there. Glad you liked it!
