London was the craziest weekend on so many levels. We left after our presentation for our culture class which went well. We made it to the train with no problems and we were stoked to be on our way to London. While on the train we heard an announcement over the PA saying something in German that we of course did not understand. The girl next to us understood and explained to us that someone had jumped in front of the train, so we were really stressed out and thought we were going to miss our flight. We spent the next 30 minutes trying to find a way to the next station along with the other IUSP people going too. It was really scary but we finally hitchhiked our way to the nearest train station and took a bus to Frankfurt from there. There were no buses so we ended up taking a cab all the way to the Frankfurt Hahn airport. We got there and met up with everyone; it was a miracle that we made it. Lexi and Alec did not make it on the delayed plane because of Dixie which I felt really bad about. When we got to London we were at the Liverpool Station and there was an announcement saying that there was an emergency in the station and that we had to evacuate. It was a crazy night, we thought it was a joke. We finally took a cab to our hostel which was really nice and just all crashed. The next day we spent a while looking for the bank for Ashley's card and then explored the city by walking. We went to King's Cross station and took pictures in front of Platform 9 3/4. Later that day we saw the London eye which was really cool. We were going to go to the Windsor Castle but it didnt work out, as well as the Sherlock Holmes museum. After that we went back to the hostel and pre-gamed for Fabric, which was not really fun. We hung out with some London guys and then went home. The next morning we got a late start but ended up going to the Tower of London which was cool even though I remembered that I had gone before. After that we went to get some fish and chips and then went back to the hostel to chill before the pub crawl. The pub crawl was really fun. We met a lot of people and went to about 4 bars. We drank a lot of good drinks and got some free shots. We also did karaoke which was pretty fun. The next morning was our last so we just did the walking tour and then went back to the hostel for our stuff and then went to the airport. It was a really long trip because we got to the airport fine but then we missed the bus and there were no more trains so we had to sleep in the airport for like 3 hours before we could catch the morning train. It was exhausting but actually really fun. We were all deliriously tired and stayed in McDonald's for the night and stood in front of their door until they opened. There were some sketch people in the station but we finally made it back to Marburg. We had school the next morning and it was crazy that we all made it to class. I ended up going late though. It was overall a fun weekend even though there was a lot of craziness and drama. We saw a lot of the main sights and took a lot of pictures so it was a nice weekend. It was really nice to be back home though after.
