Location: London — Day 1

We had to wake up super early while it was still pitch black outside to pack up all our bags and head to the station. Once we boarded the high-speed train, I was so sleepy that I fell fast asleep! I woke up just in time as we rushed through the dark underground tunnel, popping out into the vibrant sights of London. After a long, exciting walk through the city streets, we finally found our place, got our room key, and settled in.

As soon as we were unpacked, we headed out to the South Shore. From there we could see the giant clock face of Big Ben and the grand towers of Parliament standing tall against the skyline. Next, we found a stony river beach along the edge of the Thames. The shoreline was filled with so many cool sights—we even found real animal bones washed up on the sand and spent time testing our aim skipping flat stones across the water.

My absolute favorite part of the whole day was playing down on the river beach looking for animal bones, and then taking the big red double-decker bus on the way back! Sitting right up on the top floor felt like we were riding on top of the world as we zoomed through the city streets.
