Last night was our last night in our Grand Plaza hotel and so this morning we got all of our things packed up and headed down to the lobby around 11am. Ally headed out on a taxi for the airport back to Belfast and mom, dad and I headed in another taxi to our next hotel at the Holiday Inn Kensington London Hotel. Our room was not ready yet so we just checked in and put our luggage into the luggage hold room. We did all of the sightseeing on the hip on hip off bus two days ago but our tickets are good for two days and since yesterday was Christmas ours were good for Christmas Eve and today. We looked at all of the things and took the river cruise that went with it two days ago so today we did one of the free walking tours that went with it which was a Harry Potter walking tour. My sister is a MAJOR Harry Potter fan so we took her picture with all of the cool places.

The tour went from 2-3:30pm and it left us in about the same area as where we had bought tickets for Stomp and so we just found a pub to sit in for most of that time to have dinner and some drinks before it was time for Stomp. We went a little picture crazy in the pub…
We finally got it right :)
Stomp was incredible!!! I highly recommend it if you ever get the chance. Beyond impressive.
After Stomp we figured we could walk out of the playhouse and find a taxi and head home. Little did we know that was a harder task than we imagined. Today is boxing day and also a strike day for the Tubes so everyone was looking for a taxi. We spent an entire hour walking around London trying to find a cab. Mom and I had finally given up and went into a restaurant to ask for help when dad found one! Now we’re back in our room completely beat!
TIRED of walking!
Dad "doing his laundry"
Stacking my pillows....
On top of mommy!
We had asked the concierge about Stonehenge because we have been wanting to do that and it’s really simple so we’re going tomorrow! All we have to do is meet up in the lobby at 12:45pm tomorrow and we get back around 5-6pm that night! Yay! Tomorrow is our last day here in London and then the next day I head back to the states for the first time in almost four months! Crazy!!!
