July 19th- Train transfer London next Stop

This morning we took the Eurostar for a two hour ride to London! I was a little scared when we had to go through border control because they were questioning everyone in our group. We had to say we were traveling with a group of friends and leave it at that because they get weird about schools coming in. I was happy to make it through and sleep my way into London.
We are staying in Flats in South Kensington, which is like the richest area in London. Thus the rule that if we talk after eleven we will be fined thousands of pounds. Although the flats aren't the best ever I think they are great, just like school dorm rooms but bigger. We have one flat that has like 6 separate apartments filled with like four beds each except for some single rooms. Three bathrooms total, I am hoping it won't be an issue when it comes to showering ha. The worst part about our room is that for some reason it has a glass door that is like kinda opaque but more see through than anything. This is an issue.We went for a small walking tour around London, to see the basics of the city. We walked pass Big Ben which everyone knows and the Houses of Parliment. We also passed Westminster Abby which is across the street from Big Ben. It's really weird to see everyone driving on the other side of the rode and having the steering wheel on the right. It's also weird to be able to understand what people are saying and what each sign means. After being in Italy and France for the past two and a half weeks you realize that now people will understand me. London has a definite city feel and I know that I am going to love it with everything there is to see.
