Hello from London! We got off the plane this morning bright and early at 6:30am! And because most of us could not sleep on the plane we are now running on 35hours of no sleep! Despite that we had so much fun today. When we left the airport the group split for tours of Oxford and Hogwarts. My tour was of Hogwarts and it was truly incredible! We got to look at the real props and sets that were used in the making of all 8 Harry Potter films. We saw all of the actual costumes that all of the actors and actresses wore. And there was even a chance to take a picture on a flying broom using a green screen! Being able to see the actual props used in the films and seeing a lot of what happens behind the scenes was truly magical. It was an experience that I will always remember about this trip- and I'm sure those on the Oxofrd tour saw some really interesting things as well! After our Hogwarts and Oxford tours, we went to our hotel and were able to finally shower and rest! But only for a little while and then we were back to our schedule and learned how to ride the London Undeground. The rest of the evening was dedicated to exploring Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square. There is so much to do there! It is like the Times Square of London! So many restaurants and shops and places to go. It is about 10:30pm here right now and finally i am about to go to sleep- although some are still exploring this awesome city! Can't wait to see what the rest of the trip has in store!
Cheers!
