Last day in London
I was going to wake up early and go to Abbey Road but realized it wasn't that important to me. I ended up sleeping in until noon then getting around to the day. I met Sarah out someplace in London for some hot chocolate that was supposed to be good. It was ok. Once it cooled down it tasted like chocolate pudding. Same consistency, too. We walked to St. Paul's Cathedral and to the Tate Modern where we saw many a painting including but not limited to Jackson Pollack, Monet, and Picasso. We then left because Sarah had class and I was to meet my friend Ben at the Royal Opera House. I met Ben this past summer on the cruise that I went on. He is studying at London School of Economics for international relations. We met up and went to the National Portrait Gallery where he told me a lot about the different paintings and who did what. There was also a "Beatles to Bowie" exhibit that we went into. When we left the gallery we walked around a bit, saw Westminster Abbey. We went to a pub to chat and I insisted on getting fish and chips. It was only when we went into a pub that served the fish and chips that I realized I had spent 6 pounds on my drink and didn't have enough money for the fish and chips. We then left once I proved him wrong and I settled on a sandwhich from Pret (something like a Panera bread). We parted ways shortly after and he pointed me in the direction of where he thought I should have een going. (I ended up getting pointed to a different Kings College campus and was lost. I could have taken the tube but I needed to get Sarah her keys...Sarah ended up meeting me and we took the bus home. I need to sleep soon since my train leaves Euston at 7:10am. I will be on the train for ~4hours where I will then transfer at Holyhead to the ferry and another 2 hours or so to Dublin. I'll then take a bus down to Waterford and ta da!
