day 3!
alrightttt...this day was a long one. so i woke up around 7 and walked to the victoria coach station to catch my tour bus. the first stop was warwick castle (after a 2 hour drive) which was reallllly cool. im climbed something like 500 steps to get to the top of the towerand they had a bunch of neat exhibitions to see. next stop was stratford-upon-avon where we got to visit shakespeares birthplace in a tiny little house. lucky, i had made some friends on the bus by this point so i had some company. from stratford we stoppeed in a cotswold village for lunch at a pub called the white heart where i ordered fish and chips. afterrr lunch we continued to oxford and got to visit christchurch college and see where some scenes from harry potter were filmed - not to mention a very cool church and quad which was very impressive. we made are way back to london after another hour and after making a breif stop at my hostel i decided to take the tube up to hampstead. i spent some time walking around the small town then made my way to hamstead heath (which is like a big park). hampstead heath was really cool and they have this place called parliament hill where you can see all the way into central london. heres where it gets interesting. i thought i knew the park pretty well cuz i had seen it on google earth, but aparently not. after walking at least a mile i realized i couldnt have been going the wrong way, so i turned the way i thought must have been right and after another mile or so of walking i look up and realize thatt i am back at parialment hill and that i had somehow made a huge circle. by this time it had started to rain, but luckily i had my umbrella in my backpack. so i eventually made it back to the tube and back to my hostel. the end p.s. no pics today i dont have time and i am reallllly tired
