Definitely did not sleep well last night. The bed was super hard and I woke up a few times. The light from the bathroom was shining through a crack and reflecting off a mirror onto my face so I had to get up in the middle of the night and turn it off. Just a difficult sleeping experience but I was still happy to be in a hotel for the night. It was nice sleeping in though and definitely made up for the hard bed.
We got up and had a nice slow morning to get ready and have breakfast. We then hopped on the train to drop off our backpacks at Carlie’s parent’s hotel. Carlie and her parents decided not to go with us to the Titanic exhibit and were instead going to do a lot of shopping. So we dropped off our stuff and headed off to catch a tube to the O2 to see the Titanic exhibit.
The O2 is a huge complex of concert arenas, cinemas, and restaurants. It was huge! It was definitely an interesting place and we are thinking of coming back to see the new Harry Potter movie. WE went to where the Titanic exhibit was and went on in. It was truly amazing. I learned so much more about Titanic and how the ship was set up and such. It was truly amazing but it was also said. I knew what happened but reading about it and seeing some of the actually artifacts found from the Titanic was so inspiring.
After the exhibit, we had lunch at one of the many restaurants at the O2. We went to a Latin place La Iguanas. It was really yummy and very filling. It was the perfect lunch and it was pretty cheap. When we were done, we headed to the tube to meet up with Carlie and her parents and do a little shopping and have afternoon tea. We did a bit of shopping and then went to have tea. It wasn't at a real tea shop because we didn't have enough time but we plan to another time. It was still pretty good.
After tea, we headed back to get our backpacks and get on the train home. We said our goodbyes Carlie's parents and headed to the station. We had such an amazing time with them. They were so much fun and super nice. IT was nice having a few parents around to protect us and hang out with us.
When we got back home, Shekka was waiting for us with Chicken Alfredo! It was so yummy, probably the best I've ever had. It was so nice to come back and not have to think about making dinner. :)
When dinner was over, we started talking about a trip to Wales that we wish to do. I started looking up train times and tried to figure out how we'd get there. It takes about 5 hours or so to get there so we want to go a Friday after work so we can have all day Saturday and most of Sunday to see Wales. It looks really amazing. Hope we are able to get there. After train times, we headed off to bed.
Cheerio.
