London

London reminded me of the west end of Vancouver meets old world. What an incredible city! I walked for hours, took in a play and toured some of the royal palace. I know this is alot of photos but it was hard to pick just a few. I spent 4 days in this city and can't wait to go back. Every one said that the English are not very friendly, i thought just the opposite. The city is so international, i felt at home. Dublin almost feels drab and behind the times in comparison. Everyone should take in this world city if they ever have the chance. To actually see all the historical sights that we Canadians always see in the news and history books, well, i can't explain. I actually had a few tears in my eyes on the last day as i was walking through Chelsea. I didn't want to go home to Dublin.
