Day 43-England, London

London is so big! I don't know how it's possible to see everything, but I'm trying my hardest. School for today was another three to four hours of museum exploration (standing and taking notes nonstop...she really doesn't pause between lecturing on two separate paintings), after which I immediately set off to see some sights.

My first stop was King's Cross Station to visit platform 9 3/4. Instead of going to the actual platform between 9 and 10, I chose to find the "real" spot where they filmed the movie :D It was pretty sweet. I only took pictures on my camera so here's the best photo I've got. After that adventure, I went to St. Pancras where Ron and Harry fly the Ford Angela out of the muggle parking lot their second year at Hogwarts :D The magic lives on! Wow. I'm awesome.

Other stops of mine included the Wallace Collection (housing many Rococo pieces including Fragonard's Swing), the V&A (which had an excellent photography exhibition), Buckingham Palace (where I saw the changing of the guard), St. James park, and Hyde park (both parks were especially green and beautifully lush).

All-in-all, it was a pretty busy day but totally worth every second. Cheerio!
