 Hey friends today, we are hanging out in London. This is my first time visiting here And I kind of want to get lost in the city I want to go around and explore and use some of the public Transportation and see if I can navigate my way around to some of the awesome like touristy and historical sites Without knowing where I'm going. I want to use the tube. I want to use the cable cars Maybe even the double-decker buses and just explore and have a beautiful London kind of day Anyhoo's Let's go do this We're gonna start our day off right here at Excel London because this is where Star Wars Celebration is taking place And they have the IFC cloud cable cars here cable cars Gondola skyliner whatever you want to call them, but they look so cool And I kind of want to see where they're gonna take me It is 61 degrees today in London and I'm wearing a sweater and pants. Is that shocking? I know usually I just wear shorts because I'm from Florida, but this is the perfect weather I actually thrive in this weather and I'm having the best morning so far It looks like there's quite a long line for the cable car itself So I wonder if they actually sell like a lightning lane somewhere I can skip the line and look how high up this goes it must take us like into the city because that is a far distance away That's not no Disney skyliner there. I Am so excited to share my experiences with you. I really don't know what I'm doing I don't know how to use the tube or even how to get on the buses or anything like that And I just kind of want to wing it and hopefully you know things go good like hopefully I don't get too lost I'm traveling by myself. So it's just me today and I just want to kind of float in whatever general direction I think is interesting and find out what happens. I decided not going with the VIP like fast track so they do have a lightning lane and it's 30 pound over here. They actually show you it's Yeah, a 360 round trip priority fast track right on and yeah, we'll be able to skip the line I just want to be able to hop on it and be able to go up and take a look at all the beautiful views It's kind of funny because I have no idea where this takes me. I didn't know research I'm just hopping on and it's taking me over there And maybe we'll find something cool to do once we get off And if not at least I have the opportunity to hop back on and just come back right here So we'll just see where the gondola takes us. I Do also want to point out that there is two lines because you have to get one line to actually buy your ticket and then you have to hop in another line to actually board and It's definitely for me. I think it's definitely worth it to pay the extra. I mean It's like what an extra $18 to skip this these like look at that's a long line I don't know how long this would take but I think it's worth it. I mean I'm walking right on in now. I Love doing stuff like this like going somewhere. You don't even know where you're going You're just hopping on some form of transportation and just going with the flow. All right, here we go Oh, look, I got soft seats in here. Oh Thank you got the whole place to myself This is gonna be nice. Oh Boy, we're taking off This is beautiful Wow, I love how once you get out of here, it gets so quiet. I'm luckily out by myself, but it's very quiet in here. I Believe I can fly I believe I can touch the sky What a beautiful view, huh? Look at this. Holy moly This is incredible This is such a beautiful view and it's only six pounds. So that's that's so worth it Honestly, just for a quick trip. I would do this again. I do wish we can actually go out on a boat There's a lot of boats down there The water looks very brown very brown water Looks like we're gonna start making our descent. Holy moly. Look how far we're going down to get this angle It's kind of scary Yeah, we're coming in and also look at the line to get back on there So I'm glad we did get that fast track or lightning lane. Well, I'm glad we got the fast track lightning lane Here we go coming in coming in hot Little bumpy little bumpy That was fantastic now I have to ask somebody where we're at where are we Looks like we're in North Greenwich Look at that. I asked if there was anything cool to do around here and they said to go to the O2 arena And it's like a concert venue. It looks really cool. That's that big dome looking thing We saw when we were crossing the water. I was wondering what that was, but yeah, we're in North Greenwich That's where the cable car took me Looking at it from this angle. It is really intimidating. Look at that That is I can't believe we just I'm we're gonna go back that way. Oh, they're stopping too. I can see them Well, it looks like I made a big mistake because it is Easter Sunday I didn't even realize it because of the the time change and the jet lag and just kind of forgot my dates and Mostly everything's closed over here at the O2 So I think I'm gonna continue and do some more Transportation and take the tube take the tube to just somewhere random I guess see where the tube is gonna take me Well right there is the O2 now I have to try to find the underground I think it might be over here I love doing this with you guys. You are really seeing firsthand just Somebody getting lost in London getting a lot of getting lost in London I feel like I'm back in New York lost in New York. It's funny I'm calling it a tube like I've written it before but I've never been on this and it's basically an underground railroad and I don't even know how to pay so we're just gonna go Mander around and figure it out I'm guessing it's down that way But I don't know if I get a ticket here or once I get down there You would think I did a lot of preparation to actually make my first trip over To London, but I really didn't you know everything kind of just works on its own already I told my bank that I was coming over here all of my apps like uber like I didn't have to do anything special uber Just still works fine. I've been ubering all over the place I even used uber eats in London to my hotel room my debit card I just used that to pay for everything and I guess the banks just make the conversion my cell phone the second I made a phone call here. They just transferred over to travel like international So like it just all I mean we're so tech now like a Technological advanced that everything just does it for you and it's kind of crazy Like I thought like this would be a big ordeal like European national lampoons European vacation But it's really not it just kind of self-sufficient and I like that. We're living in a whole new world a whole new There we go tickets right there I Have to hold the camera up really high because there's some lighting that actually makes the screen shake But when I came in I just tapped my card at like the turnstile like my regular debit card And it just let me in and it gave me like a daily like max that they'll do and I think I saw a sign for central London So we're heading to central London Central London westbound platforms one and two that we're going right down this way This is such an adventure I'm having the best time ever and I hope this is encouraging to anyone that wants to come to London and Like afraid that they might get lost or anything like that You can see I'm kind of just going with the flow and navigating around and it's actually really easy Everybody's super friendly super nice and very suggestive of cool things to do We're going on the Jubilee line platform, too. No, no, no, these are all the places we can stop out Maybe London Bridge. Maybe we'll stop at London Bridge. That sounds nice or Waterloo all these places This is turning out to be really awesome. They almost missed my exit I was standing right by that door there and then all of a sudden I looked out and I saw London Bridge And I was like, oh, so I hopped off and here we are we made it made it to the London Bridge I don't know where else I'm going I think I can say I'm a big fan of the tube now This was actually really awesome and I think I'm gonna be using this mode of transportation a little bit more This is this is actually very easy to actually map out like I never looked at a map I never did anything. I just was like, oh, there we go. I want to go there and I just went this was so easy It's kind of funny because now we've done the Cable car we've done the tube and Hopefully we can do like one of the double-decker buses now I can do the public transportation ones But I want to do the ones that are open and you can just like sit up top and be out in the fresh air So we're gonna see if we can do that as well kind of knocking out all the amazing transportation. Oh look pretty woman pretty woman Walking down the street Now that I've gotten to where I want to be I just scan my card again just like that And I paid I'm done. Isn't that so easy peasy? To the left we got London Bridge City Pier and then to the right we've got the shard I kind of want to do them both so I don't know which way I should start I guess maybe to the pier to the pier Okay, so now that we're here I want to find that pier so I can just I just want to look at the London Bridge You know, I just want to I just want to stare at it see it maybe take a photo There we go. We have made it Right over there is Tower Bridge. You can see it and I kind of think I walked this path the other day right down here I'm pretty sure I was walking along here as we explored our first day, but uh, yeah Kind of cool Just walking across London Bridge. I think You really can't deny how beautiful this view is though. Isn't it crazy? Wow? I kind of I just want to stay up here all day when I definitely want to try to use uber boat I want to I want to uber me a boat. Oh my lord. I Almost got attacked by a bird As you can see this is one site with many bridges We are right here on the London Bridge itself the Tower Bridge is Yonder over that way and they have a nice little informational display here also let you know some of maybe some of the things that are Actually in the water Seahorses is this real European eel? Well, it's kind of cool. I like all of this stuff a brown trout That's really awesome. Oh London Bridge is falling down falling down actually let you know what that actually means This is this is a great. This is I like this a lot. Oh Look this might be my time to hop on one of these cool buses here. Oh boy I see them all stopped here. You think we should do it. Let's do it. I don't even know where it's gonna take me But we're going for it Looks like I'm gonna be hopping on the taut to taut What is it taut toot? We're gonna hop on the toot bus the best of London and it was 34 pounds and I get 24-hour access and I get to go to all the good spots So I think I want to take it over to the palace I want to go over by like st. James Park and kind of just like navigate around there 34 pound That's not too bad on top of that I get headphones that I can listen to that gives me a little history of everything as I'm going around look like I said This is no planning like this. I just literally walked upon this and I was like hey you let's go for a bus ride And I love that Oh, and here is our bus we're heading in I want to go outside though. I want to be on the top tippity top Perfect. Thank you Have a great one. Oh, okay. Take a map headphones. There we go Excellent, and we're going all the way up Look at these little tiny steps Oh Boy You guys coming down And away we go that place looks really cool shipwrights arms right there, and I think I think we're stop 7 We're gonna be looking for I gotta pull out the map. I Think we're going over Tower of Bridge now. Oh, yeah, that's where we're going just a London boy on a London bus I Plugged these bad boys in let's see what we're working with here. Oh the earbubs touched the floor. Yeah, oh I can see the London Eye and Also Big Ben and Parliament over there and also look at this English tea bus right next to us Look how close we are I could touch it This is such a fun thing I could spend hours just driving on this bus I hope it's not too windy for you, but I'm loving this Looks like we're coming right up on Big Ben. Oh, it just struck This is our stop I think but we can get on and off as much as we want we paid for the on and off pass So, yeah time to explore a little bit around here. Maybe head on over to the palace It's really amazing how we made our way all the way down here, but it's time to make our way Over to the other side a lot of the area we weren't able to visit on our first trip over That was a real fun bus ride and now that we've made our way over here I'm kind of a little hungry. So I think we're gonna take a pit stop and maybe have a Sunday roast a Sunday roast is a traditional British like meal and they only serve it on Sunday So I'm kind of excited This is the first spot that I saw that I was just like oh, yeah I got to get myself a little Sunday roast my first one and I like it doesn't have like a name on the building It just says public bar, but I'm here for it. Look at this fancy glasses and woodwork Nice little pub. Oh Yeah, I think it's gonna do good It's 18 pounds for the Sunday roast But I need to eat something before I make my way over to Buckingham Palace, you know what I mean? I did have a something and I think they stopped serving it some most people I think I've seen signs where it said 12 p.m. To 5 p.m. And it's actually Easter Sunday So it's gonna be an Easter Sunday roast and I like that my first Easter Sunday roast. This is really this is really turning into something This place is called Saints Stevens Tavern and they actually have their own Saints Stevens logger So I decided to get that along with the Sunday roast and kind of just chilling out relaxing for a bit. Look at in here It's right. It's actually really nice. I like all the wood and the wallpaper and the pictures too. It's very fancy Cheers All right, here is the Sunday roast and this looks actually really really good carrots broccoli Oh, wow potatoes and look at that beef. Look at that steak. I cannot wait to dive into this Holy moly. This is gonna be good. I'm very excited. It's my first ever Sunday roast. Oh I'm going all in on carrots first. I love carrots. Carrots are so delicious Those are really good carrots. Now a little broccoli. Did you see that? Now it's time to get down to the beef the beef and business My first Sunday roast was a success. I loved it very delicious and I hope to have many more many more Sunday roast This was so good. I honestly, I really love it. I love the veggies mostly I don't know. There's just something about them that I was just like this is just too good. I Think my favorite part of the Sunday roast has to be probably the potatoes and the carrots I just love it and the gravy over here. It's so good. Look at these potatoes. Look at them. Look at them Look at them That was a delicious roast. That was very very good The only thing is is it was so crowded in there Like I basically felt like I was sitting on someone's lap eating some roast beef So it was a little awkward to film, but yeah, it was great I feel a little bit better had lots of veggies now. It's time to move on. I Just realized I got off at the wrong stop. This is not where I wanted to be I thought like I thought I was like kind of near where I needed to go But this is nowhere near I needed to go and now I have to figure out how to get there. Hey. Oh, wow Look at it's very very very busy over here. I might have I might hop back on the underground I really like that. So we might do that here at Westminster station It seems a little familiar like this is where I was the other day, but I'm not too sure I'm gonna keep walking straight and see where I end up though I'm just gonna do a straight line straight line from Big Ben straight back And I think that might lead me right to right to right to where I want to go This definitely looks like a road that will lead me to somewhere cool Look at the buildings here, and then we've got like this big park and I see tons of people over here This is really nice Wow, this might be my favorite part of London right here. I love it And there's actually a little map over here so we can figure out Where we're at. Oh Yeah, St. James Park. Yeah, let's take a look at and see what's going on over here. I Do believe this is exactly where we want to be right here That's me. You are here and we want to make our way to Buckingham Palace right here. Look it This is it. So we just got to go down this road and then Bada Bing The other day I walked this way and then we went that way and we made our way to Piccadilly Circus Now we're gonna go that way. It's a nice night for a walk. So might as well go through the park I think that's gonna be a little bit nicer If we're right here, then we can cut over and go across Blue Bridge and make our way over to The Buckingham Palace there. Yeah, just like this Easy-peasy. Ah, see I knew it. I knew we're oh wow. Look how beautiful this is Okay. All right. I like this. Maybe I should take a picture of that map I'm gonna go back and take a picture of that map Yeah, there we go nice little photo snap a photo Bada boom now I can zoom in on it later. I Just want to let you guys know that today is being such a fun Adventurous day for me. I'm not stressed out at all. I just kind of just Walking around looking at things and really enjoying and soaking in everything Around me and it's just so cool So if you ever have the chance just to have a solo day just to go wander around you should really do it We've come up to a sign That lets us know that the horse guards parade is seven minutes that way And then if we go straight we should be able to make it to Buckingham Palace in seven minutes So I think we're gonna we're gonna go straight go straight, but I do want to cross the bridge. Look at this It's a nice bridge. I wonder if we can still get to Buckingham Palace by crossing the bridge here. Wow. Oh my lord Look at that There she is I'm taking the bridge. I'm going across the bridge and then to the left. Oh, I do have a I took a photo of the map That's why I took a photo so I can make sure I'm going the right way. I Think I have to turn back because something tells me I'm not gonna make it that way or it's gonna be a longer route Yeah, I think I have to turn back But there is a lot of people over here feeding dust feeding some ducks and geese and pigeons. Wow. What a combination Holy moly We've got ducks. We've got geese. We've got pigeons. We've got squirrels This guy's scaring me he's standing up on me This this is definitely my favorite part, I love it here. It's so beautiful Well, I don't live here. I really want to live here now. I want to move here and just stay this is Just look at these pigeons chasing each other. Look at them. I'm coming after you Don't be suspicious. Don't be suspicious Don't be suspicious. Don't be suspicious. Don't be suspicious Well, this is convenient They've got a little coffee stand right in the middle of the park right before you make it up to the palace there This is really awesome. I can get myself some coffee or a Americano They have dog treats too. Oh my lord. We got to get Gracie some dog treats Dog treats. She's gonna love these Not gonna lie really catching a vibe right here That's hot. This is unbelievable. I can't believe I'm seeing this with my own eyes and don't forget they're getting ready for the coronation Wow Momos I'm a little emotional right now actually But I can't we're here We did it. Look at this Wow I can This honestly might be the most historical place I've ever visited like Feeling wise like I have goosebumps. It's something I've always dreamed of and It took me nearly 40 years to come here. I can't even believe it and I'm here now The reason I'm so like passionate about these things is because I really never traveled You know, I didn't leave the state of Pennsylvania Until I was in my 20s and when I did I went to Florida and now it's the first time I ever left the country Like I never went out West the first time I out like went out West was just like maybe six years ago so this is a huge huge accomplishment for me and It's amazing Looks like there's a sign that says no guard changing ceremony today, but the guards are still out there You can see them. Oh and some of them are walking There are so many people lined up on the fence. Oh, and they're yelling at people It's only to get down somebody's climbing up there. Well, look at oh boy Catching the drama happening here We've got the guards on duty, and then we've got the Royal Mail the Royal Mail We're gonna keep moving along from the palace itself and right around the corner on Palace Street is The Phoenix a little pub and I kind of want to make my way there and maybe get a pint. I I Literally just typed in pub near me and this is the first one that popped up. So it looks kind of good. I'm a little excited Yeah, I'm all about it So they do have like an outdoor bar area, but it looks like it's raining a little bit And they also have like an upstairs dining room, and it looks very fancy So I decided to stay here for a bit and just kind of relax This is also the first time I think I've ever seen like bar stools at the bar like, you know, I mean And DTH has joined up on the adventure look at that we have swively chairs we do so we can I like this oh, yes I Came in here with the idea of getting a pint But I think we're gonna get ourselves like a special espresso martini a banana espresso martini and A good pick me up her. I need to pick me up her We decided on getting some small plates. We've got a little Apple sausage roll some scallops and then a Scotch egg I've never had a Scotch egg before and I don't think I'm willing to try one now. Oh and truffle fries I mean, it all looks really good though the sausage roll. I'm kind of excited I don't think I've had a proper sausage roll since I've been over here. Look at that That's a big that's a lot of meat. That's a lot of sausage in there. Isn't it time to try some sausage roll now That's amazing The sausage roll is really good I like it a lot and I might be willing to actually try a Scottish shade my first time So maybe I don't know Yeah, you know what I'll do it Why not get taken go to the dome? Really? Okay, here we go my first time my first time here we go my first time Yeah, right, I like it I like it It honestly tastes just like the sausage roll but with crispy breading instead of flaky breading this has buttery Baked in a buttery bakey crust and this one is fried in a a freak of a flaky Friday crust I'm always yeah, I'm always excited to try new things. So it was really nice to experience a Scottish shade and Now I can say I've had one and I liked it. I Really did love this little pub look at it in here. I don't know why it doesn't look old It actually looks like it's old, but up kept. You know what I mean?
