The white cliffs of dover

We had an early morning so that we could get on the coach to head to Dover where our ship was located! It was such a beautiful view of the English countryside! As we approach, we see the Dover castle and those famous white cliffs. BEAUTIFUL! The views we saw on this trip were breathtaking. We got on our ship seamlessly. It was the first time on a cruise for both Austin and I! We were beyond excited! However I hadn't eaten that day so we went to have lunch in the dining room and I got a little case of motion sickness. But some food and some ginger ale cleared that all up! We had our safety meetings and then we were on our way!

A day in London

After a long flight, we landed in London at about 5:30 in the morning. After a scary taxi ride (I swear we could of gotten in a million car accidents) to the hotel. We dropped off our luggage and started on our way around the city. However little did we know that nothing really opens until around 10 there. That did not stop my dad from wearing us out by the time 10 o clock came. We picked up our London Passes and we were off! Of course we had to take the cliche picture in front of the telephone booth.... but come on, how often are you in London?

We saw the Tower of London on a fun boat tour, the London Eye, Big Ben, the Westminster Abby, and much more. The buses get you around quickly as long as you figure out which ones to get on. We went to lunch at this nice italian place which is right where exhaustion kicked in. We took a quick power nap and went back on the town. We ate at planet hollywood for dinner and shopped away. Then it was back to the hotel so that we could get ready to head out for the ship the following morning! Cruise ship here we come!
