My So Called Parisian Life: Platform 9 and 3/4

Today's adventures included a trip to Kings Cross Station and wandering around Hyde Park. We all slept in this morning which was nice, but did not help with our jet lag. We finally left the flat around 3ish and went straight to Kings Cross. I assumed that we were going to take a few luggage carts down to platforms 9 and 10 and run at the wall with them, little did I know that they had a special little place already set up! Cart and everything! I was totally geeking out.

Afterwards we got some sandwiches and headed over to Hyde Park. The tube stop we got off at was a little far from the park so we got to see a lot of South Kensington which is absolutely gorgeous. It was such a great day for wandering the park. After taking a few pictures we stopped and had a picnic on the grass and people watched- well, I guess more dog watched. We were so amazed at how the dogs were so well behaved! None of them were on leases. Then we had really annoying pigeons stalking us for crumbs. I will definitely have to go back to the park because I didn't even get half the pictures I wanted to! I could probably spend a few hours just wandering around and taking photographs.

Yesterday we had orientation for Westminster. It was so long and painfully boring. But one of the speakers showed us a video, which I posted below. I've had it stuck in my head all day. Last night we went to a pub. Still haven't quite learned pub etiquette so again we stuck out like a bunch of tourists. As one of my roommates said it, "We might as well have been holding the statue of liberties!" I think we almost have it down.....
