Honestly, the whole day felt like something out of a movie. Going up on the London Eye was insane – seeing the whole city laid out like that made me feel so small but in the best way. Madame Tussauds was so fun, we kept running around taking silly pics with the figures, like they were actually celebrities we bumped into. And SEA LIFE… wow, walking through that tunnel with sharks and stingrays literally swimming over my head was unreal. Everything was so easy and well organized, I didn’t have to stress about a thing. It’s honestly one of those days I know I’m gonna remember when I think about being 21 and exploring London.

Got there late after trying the train for almost 4 hours. They made no promises but said we could wait to see if anyone was late for the next appointment. We got there at 7:15 for a 6:30 appointment. With no hope of getting on and only one day in town we waited. What a wonderful and totally unexpected result when Jordyn gave us the news we could get on at the 7:30 time slot. Was a joy seeing the sights from the eye we thought we missed out on and we are still in awe that they didn't turn us away after missing our appointment. Thank you so very much for being so kind to 2 weary travelers. Would do it all over again but next time hopefully on time.
