My 5 Days in London… Day 4

Day 4 was another busy day filled of fun. When you're only in London for such a short period of time your days are jammed packed with touristy things you just can't afford not to do. First stop on the list was The London Eye, my parents told me I would be stupid not to do this. We opted for the Champagne Experience ticket because why not enjoy a glass of Champagne? It takes 30 mins to complete a full rotation all while seeing some of London's most popular sights, including Big Ben, Parliament Buildings, St. Paul's Cathedral, the Gherkin, Tower Bridge, London Bridge, and Buckingham Palace just to name a hand full.

Walking up to The London Eye, I won't lie we were both getting a little nervous once we realised how tall it actually was.

Big Ben and House of Parliament from 135 metres up.

The view from the top of the London Eye (Big Ben and The Parliament Building).

Once we left The London Eye we walked along Oxford Street and Bond Street and did a little window shopping.  Unfortunately, not all the shops were open because it was Easter Monday but we definitely made due with what was available.  Honestly, all you Chanel lovers out there - the Chanel on Bond St. is to DIE for.

After spending a couple hours window shopping we walked over to Claridges to have High Tea, definitely something you have to experience while in London. I will warn you though, be ready for some sticker shock when receiving the cheque (or don't order two more glasses of champagne), but overall an experience I wouldn't take back.

The view from and of our table. Champs + Pastries = Happy Rebecca!

Enjoying some tea, champs, too many pastries, and amazing company at Claridges.

The last stop on our girls day out was at Selfridges and once again I was blown away by the size of this department store. Of course I couldn't resist doing some retail therapy, especially once I laid eyes on the massive shoe department, and picked up a pair of Valentino Rockstud flats. After a long day of seeing the sights, shopping, and enjoying high tea we decided to stay in, drink some wine, watch Made in Chelsea, and relax.  This however didn't happen like planned, as we locked ourselves out of my girlfriend's flat and spent most of the evening scaling balconies and hanging out with one of her neighbours from a couple flats over until we were rescued by the locksmith! Definitely an experience I will not forget!

My 5 Days in London… Day 3

On Day 3 I decided to get out of London and explore some of the countryside England has to offer. As a child I can remember going on Family Vacations and driving all across England, so when I came back almost 20 years later I couldn't resist. I found a tour with Golden Tours that went to Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Bath all in one day, I told you I wanted to explore!  However, finding out when I went to check in that we wouldn't be visiting Windsor Castle because of it being Easter and the Queen's birthday, was kind of a bummer, but they already had an alternative location planned, which was Hampton Court Palace. For some brief history on Hampton Court Palace click here.

Outside the front gates into Hampton Court Palace.

The Tudor Kitchen famous for being used for King Henry VIII.

The Staircase leading into Queen Anne's State Apartment.

The Historical Gardens of Hampton Court covering 750 acres of land.

Next stop on our tour was in Wiltshire to visit Stonehenge, my favourite. I have honestly wanted to revisit this Wonder of the World for almost 20 years.  I can remember as a kid being fascinated by this rock formation, although a lot has changed since my last visit. Before you could literally park right beside the stones and touch them, now you have to park 1.5 miles away at the Visitor Centre and take a tram to the attraction, which is then roped off becoming out of reach.  Although I was slightly disappointed by the new set up and the hardest rain I have ever been in, I quickly forgot about it once I was there looking at this beautiful mystery. Honestly how did those Druids do it?

Typical tourist Stonehenge picture including gloomy skies and water marks on the camera lens.

Last stop was an hour drive from Stonehenge to the Historical Town of Bath to visit the Roman Baths.  Bath is named after and known for the only natural hot springs in Britain which was used by the Romans as a religious spa. Still flowing natural hot springs today at temperatures reaching 96°C, it is sad to say it is no longer in use due to filtration restrictions. What remains of, at the time, the only religious spa in Northern Europe is absolutely beautiful and definitely something worth checking out.

The Bath Abbey, which is still in use today.

After some wandering around and shopping, on to the bus I went to travel back to London.

After returning to London around 8pm, I finished off a long day traveling the country enjoying an authentic British meal at Cheneston's Restaurant inside The Milestone Hotel London.  My girlfriend and her fiancé swear by this place, so I was super excited to try it.  After a well deserved martini and some freshly baked bread and flavoured butter (FYI the tomato butter was to die for), it was on to the main course and a delicious bottle of wine. Ending the night early, we headed back to their flat after dinner and watched an episode of Made in Chelsea before bed. The perfect end to a LONG day!
