Today was the first day I finally got a good sleep in, I woke up at 9am to drop my laundry off to housekeeping and then went back to bed and didn't get up until 11:30am. It felt so good to finally get a good sleep in after 3 weeks of early starts. We didn't plan on meeting until 12:30pm at platform 9 and 3/4 at kings cross station. I made my way into kings cross station myself and got there earlier than expected so was just sitting around waiting for the others. It was quite funny looking for the platform as I didn't know where it was and really didn't want to ask someone where it was cause that'll be embarrassing. I waited awhile and then Rach came and Marcus and Jaclyn came not long afterwards. We took some photos of the platform itself as the line was super long to actually get a photo with a half trolley through the wall with a small sign.
We decided to make our way to harrods and check that out as that's a must do whilst in London. We got to harrods and the store was quite impressive it was a very large department store and all the merchandise was very very expensive, we saw a watch there for over £100,000. They even had a grocery store in there and a apart of the store which sold pastries and desserts. Me and Jaclyn got a cronut each, which was extremely delicious. After harrods we decided to go to south bank to have lunch there as there are numerous restaurants there and it's a nice area. We had lunch at a place called giraffes. We all got a burger of some kind and it was so delicious. Hamish and HP came to meet us there and then Jenna also came along as well after her job interview. She had been having a rough time trying to find a job and place to live in London but I am glad I got to see her and she always brightens my day.
We went to these markets afterwards and got some little treats, we hung around the markets for awhile as we didn't know what to do. We ended up dispersing and meeting up a little later in soho for dinner. I went back to the royal national and used some wi fi and then got ready to go out. I met Leisa and went into picadilly circus with her. We decided to meet at TGI Fridays at 7:30pm and then go from there. Rach and Jenna were already there when we got there and Markus came just after 7:30pm. The only other person we were waiting on was Jaclyn at this point. Time went by and there was still no sign of her. I then realised that she was not in the Facebook group in which the message was sent about when and where to meet up. However she ended up just coming later and met us at the restaurant. We ended up going to this cute Mexican restaurant. We got some cocktails and had some Mexican food.
It was nice to spend one final night with these awesome people who I have known for the last 3 weeks and just enjoying there company one last time before we all go our separate ways. After dinner we went to M and M world for a gander (that ones for you Markus). We got some selfies in there as we do. After M and M world came the part I have dreaded all night, saying goodbye to Markus, Rach and Jaclyn. The goodbye wasn't as bad as I had initially thought it out in my head. I didn't cry this time which was better than my last goodbyes. I honestly think I am all cried out which is why I didn't cry. And I know deep down I will see these guys again but it's just said that this chapter of our lives are over for the time being until we meet again next time. I went back to the royal national with Leisa and just went straight to bed when I got back. Tomorrow I leave London for another country to explore; Barcelona, Spain.
