The Tenth Day: A day to myself :]

This will be short and sweet :]

Today was our second free day and 90% of the group went to Dublin and/or on day trips to the countryside. I being the cheap date I am decided I didn't want to shell out the money for either of these things and took today to just be.

I woke up on my own time, which felt so good I can't even tell you, and then headed to the National Gallery to bum around and look at more Monet's. After about an hour or so there, I took the Underground over to Knightsbridge and did some shopping for my family members, all of whom are going to love what I got them :]

After this I got lunch at a cafe by myself, talked to the Italian couple sitting next to me, and headed back towards home! Today was gorgeous weather wise so I walked down to Kensington Gardens and enjoyed the sunshine for a bit before coming back and meeting up with everyone who was returning from their own activities. It sounds like the Stonehenge people had an alright time, the Dublin people had a great time, and Amanda is just pumped she got to see where scenes in the Great Hall from Harry Potter were filmed.

Sorry for the lack of pictures today; I wanted to lighten up my purse about 20 pounds because it's been killing my shoulder, so I took my camera and lens out. More tomorrow though for certain! We're going to Dover and Canterbury, so that's going to be a ball.
