We have left England and are now in Belgium. Yesterday we took the Euro-star, and it took us from London to Brussels. And then from Brussels, we hopped a train to Antewerp. We are staying at the Brazles house and will be here for 4 days.
Our last two days in London were super fun. After Canada Place,(when i last posted) we just walked around Downtown london and saw the tower bridge and the tower of london. We didnt actually get to go inside because we got there to late, but it was still neat to see it from the outside. From there we just walked around and eventually found a little pub and ate traditionally fish and chips for supper. It was good.
Our last day in London, we went to Wimbledon and actually spent quite a bit of time there. We werent able to take a tour because they were still taking stuff down from the tournament. We did go into the museum though which was really cool. We learnt a lot about the history of tennis and Wimbledon and even got to see the Championship trophey with the pineapple on top and Roger Federers name on it 4 times. Too bad we didnt get to see Rog himself. After Wimbledon we went to Harrods. Some of you will know what Harrods is, but others will not. For those of you that don't, its a massive department store that has absolutely everything that you've ever dreamed or imagined of having, and probably more too. Its pretty much is own mall and land. If you shop there, pretty much you dont need to shop anywhere else, but the catch is, its flippin expensive. Its a rich peoples department store. We found a globe that cost 13, 450 pounds. and thats pounds. so times it by approx. 2.7 and you have what it would cost in Canadian. who needs a globe that costs that much? But it was still fun to look around. I even was able to find something that wasnt to expensive and so i bought it. We also bought food there and went and had a picnic in Hyde park. After Harronds we went back downtown and went and saw the Lion King. Oh man it was so good. It was so well done-the set, the animals, everything. It was a good end to the London trip. On the last day we just stayed close to the place we were staying because we had to meet up with the Krogsgaards and Matt G at Waterloo station at like 1:00 and so we didnt have much time.
But London was great and I've decided that someday i want to live there. And know we're in Belgium and its going to be fun too. I'm excited to see new things and go new places.
but i better be off.
hope everyones doing good at home.

later
