After a few more days relaxing and enjoying Dublin we flew back to London. Silly us booked a really late flight to Stansted, so only just made the last train and once we got to Liverpool we had no idea what to do. Eventually a bus arrived that took us to Victoria, which is where Sam and I thought we could get a bus to Bromley. Mat was staying at Tom's again in Acton so he caught a cab from Victoria. After Sam and I wandered around for a bit trying to find our bus we were informed that we actually had to be at Trafalgar Square to catch a bus to Bromley. So we hopped in a taxi which dropped us at Trafalgar Square. When we got to our bus station it was closed, luckily a man there directed us to a different one which we then found. Finally we hopped on a bus to Bromley which took about an hour, then got a taxi from Bromley to Shortlands. We arrived home at 4am....what a debacle! So exhausted. Definitely taught me a lesson in terms of booking flights. It's definitely worth paying that little bit extra if you can avoid a night like this!
Had a great sleep and a relaxing day in Bromley and Shortlands. Dad arrived the day before us and then Mum arrived. Had a wonderful BBQ with the family, it was so nice to see everyone together. On the Saturday Sam and I made our way back into London to meet up with Mat, Boydy and Sam's friends Jesse, Tonking and Haighy. We had a really chilled out day drinking on the outside patio at Belushi's bar, catching up and telling stories. It was a really hot, sunny day - perfect weather for an afternoon session in London!
Sunday it was time for The Church round two. The boys all dressed up in matching old school golfer's outfits and I went as an Indian. What a day. Met up with Tom ans Joe who we'd met in Miami which was great and had an all round wicked afternoon. It's definitely a unique experience!
Monday night we were off to Spain so spent some time wandering around London and visited Hyde Park and had a Pimms on the side of the lake, saw Buckingham Palace and the changing of the guards, Trafalgar Square and went back to Westminster to have a drink up on the pretty beer garden looking over the London Eye and Big Ben. Considering how tired we were from The Church, we had such a lovely and productive day. The weather was being very kind! Lucy and Rit arrived around eight from Glastonbury, looking very tired. We had some noodles and watched a movie until it was time to get our taxi to the airport at 2am. Everyone was exhausted. Slept a few hours at the airport before checking in at 5:30am. Made it onto the plane, all very excited to get to Spain and Leon!
