After our long, and exhausting flight to England we set our bags down and started wandering around the city. All we had was a map in our hands to direct us. Looking at the places we could go we decided to try and find the Sydney Gardens. With one destination in mind it shouldn't take that long....well in our case it took 7 hours to find! Despite the long trek we found some beautiful buildings, shops, museums and parks. Not to mention we also got to see a cricket game- we didn't understand how the game was played but it was interesting to watch. At the end of the day, well London time that is, we were very tired! Even though we had been up for more than 30 hours at this point we didn't regret taking that day to explore the city by ourselves. Within our group of 7 we learned a lot about the city and each other- no one can complain about that. As we headed back to the dormitories we were ready to sleep- everyone else seemed to have the same idea because most of us were asleep by 9pm. I am excited to see what else is in store for us in the coming days!
