Oh, How I Love a Good List

Things checked off my London bucket list: 
•Watch so much amazing theatre; Les Miz, The Lion In Winter, The Pitman Painters, Noises Off (and hopefully much more to come)
• Become a master of the underground, to the point of riding, while standing, without holding on, and not crashing into people when it stops. Boom.
• Spend time with old friends and get to know lots of new amazing people. • Go to Bath, obsess about Jane Austen.
• Succeed in keeping some sort of travel writing document (I write things down in 5 different places but at least I am writing)

Surprises (nice):
• Continental breakfast!!!!! I will never get tired of croissants, meat and cheese. Never. 
• Hearing so many different languages in one place. Makes me feel...worldly. 
• Getting into the practically sold out Leonardo da Vinci exhibit. Truly a once in a lifetime experience. 

Surprises (not so nice):
• Getting stupidly sick which lead to two nose bleeds which lead to me freaking out and thinking I was dying which lead to everyone thinking I was silly.
• Spending money like there is no tomorrow ... but everything is so expensive and I looovvvveeee to shop.
• Theatres not giving out programs or even cast lists, you have to pay anywhere from £4-8 for a program.
• Getting separated from my group on the tube, but I was awesome and found my way back.

Hopefully still to come:
• Hedgehogs!!!!!!!!!!!! In Hyde Park. Please please please!
• Much much much more theatre
