Thursday

Well, seeing as people say Europe is more or less the same everywhere, to prove this wrong we decided to show the Swedes the streets of London. Also, it would've been a shame if they didn't get to see the other side of London as they saw Newham on Monday and only what they saw on T.v. Some of them were really excited to see Big Ben in real life!

The Southbank, Westminster, Houses of Parliament, Trafalgar square, The Art Museum, Oxford Street and Leicester Square! It was really really rainy. The only day of the whole trip that was. But hey, that is British weather for you - Four seasons in one day.
We let the girls go wild on Oxford Street, many of went shopping crazy!!!!! I accompanied some of them on the London Bus, a first for them - The number 6 bus from Marble Arch to Piccadilly Circus. I was the only tour guide for this section and I took them to the m&m shop where it was chocolate galore but the prices were ghastly - it was my first time in this shop too!
After all the sight seeing - exhaustion kicked in! We all went to eat in Wagamamas another type of cuisine for the group. I must say, I found it hard to understand the menu so I could understand the difficulty for the Swedish lot. But we ate and it was delicious!

After a sleepy  journey back to the Barge, we chilled, experienced a bit of Arabic culture and fell sound asleep!
