London- Westminster Abby, Big Ben, The Black Dog, Camden Market, Six the Musical

Day 3 started with Westminster Abby early in the morning. My bad for scheduling another early morning after such a late night.  But there's too much to see to waste time sleeping!  Westminster was really cool but also really overwhelming.  The place is covered, like every inch of the wall and so much going on in every room.  Lots of famous and historic people are put to rest here.











The dead body statues were weird enough but they all had weird animals at their feet.



I got in trouble for taking pictures up in the special room.  I didn't realize right away, but then I did and I took pictures of these crown jewels anyway and the lady was not impressed with my "pleading ignorance".  I deleted them in front of her and Kylee goes, are you going to pull those out of your deleted folder later?  Maybe...





We left Westminster and walked across the bridge to get pictures of Big Ben.



Then we walked on for awhile to get to the Black Dog.  This wall of hearts was touching.

The Black Dog is a bar but it's also a new Taylor Swift song.  We thought it was cute they had her lyrics on their window and they had merch inside too.  We were definitely not the only Swifties there.


Camden Market is really well known!  It's also huge with tons of options.  Ryan got a smash burger, I got some tacos and Kylee got a smoothie bowl.  I stood in line for WAY too long to try these viral fries (aka chips) that were ok but I was pretty full so.


We only had a little bit of downtime before we had to leave to go to Covent Garden to walk around before our show Six the Musical.  We ended up having a hard time getting moving and had to speed walk and not really see anything.  Looking back I'm pretty sure there was a bus that would've taken us much closer but my plan was to walk the area and find food.  We grabbed a yogurt at Pret really fast on our way.  But we made it.  And we LOVED the show!!  We've enjoyed this music for a couple years now and it was great to see live, especially in London where it's meant to be.



Another late night and after hours room service...
