done with London...for now

so after 5 jam packed days in London, we're leaving for Rome in a few hours. Of course we're not leaving London with our bits of story to tell - some of our highlights include:
-getting stuck between floors in the underground elevator at the Covert Garden tube station
-Losing Winston and Adrian in Cambridge (Marg and I just left for London with out them)
-Winston getting the punting stick stuck in the mud and nearly falling off the boat while we were punting around the Cambridge campus
-Adrian literally saving Winston's life (prevented him from being hit by a truck...the 3rd time that day)-Margaret picking up a very strange wannabe British accent
-Hanging out and having pots of mussels for dinner with Darren, Fiona and Julie
-Winston being scared by the live man amongst the wax figures in Warwick Castle
-Adrian being 'hit' by British lady on a bike (but her injuries were far worse...adrian didn't really notice that he got hit)
-Seeing the Lion King, Chicago and Fame musicals
-the strange couple rolling around on the floor outside our room that I tripped on trying to go to the washroom
-Margaret taking photos of every meal before we're all allowed to eat

My favourite parts of this city:
-learning how to stop a bus (apparently being at a bus stop is not enough)
-TEA!
-Raspberry Beer!
-our hostel (it's literally right now to the British Museum)
-how everyone is a tourist here (I tried to ask someone for directions in Cambridge and everyone was not from there!)
-the flea markets
-how everyone is soooooo polite here
