Wow I can’t believe it’s the 8th of September already, summer seems to have come and gone soo fast!

I also can’t believe that I’ve gone this long without writing about my short holiday in London. To be brief, it was amazing! (now in more length) I had such a great time, travelling down in the car was not half as bad as I was expecting it to be, in fact the 3.5 hour drive was pretty fun. We did a lot of in car singing to the Wicked soundtrack and then moved on to the War of the Worlds album once that was finished. We actually left a little bit later than we had planned to but this didn’t make too much of a difference to our plans, we stopped off for a coffee and something to eat on the way down and eventually arrived at the hotel around 5:30.

Once we were all booked in and unpacked we just about had time to get changed before rushing out to see Wicked the musical. Wicked was most definitely one of the highlights of the trip, the show was amazing and the cast, set and songs where truly awesome, I like it so much that I’m really keen on going to see it again at sometime. After the show we waited around the stage door and got chance to meet a few of the cast and has some photos taken with them and got some autographs (I’ve put a few of the pictures up on the gallery, the rest will be along soon). We then grabbed a sandwich in the tube station before heading back to the hotel. That was Thursday pretty much over. Our room was awesome by the way

Friday was a bit less manic, we got up quite late and then just went shopping for the day. Once we were bored of that Sarah suggested a trip to the park and the palace which were both rather nice. We chilled out for a couple of hours in the room before heading to wagamamas (simple the best place to eat ever!) for dinner, after that we caught the tube back to the city centre and had a ride on the London eye, I’ve been on it a couple of times before but never at night. It was well worth it, the views of the city lit up were quite breath taking.

Saturday was just as busy as Thursday, after another sightly late morning we headed to pizza hut for lunch before catching the matinee of “The sound of Music” again I was very impressed by the set and thougherly enjoyed the show, although it wasn’t a patch on Wicked. We picked up the car and headed home after that, arriving back on the Wirral at around 11ish that night.

All in all I had a really good time, it was well worth the money. Everyone should see Wicked, it really is one of the best things in the world. Sarah and I both took loads of pictures and whilst a few are already up, I’ll make sure the rest are in the gallery within a couple of days.
