A Stop in England, and Nova Scotia Bound

London!


I must say I am proud at how comfortable I have become flying in comparison to before this trip, as I can actually say I enjoyed my flights home. I stopped in Heathrow, England and had a day and a half in the city to explore. I found my way from the hotel to the Tube which is the underground subway that leads in to the heart of London. I stopped off at Leicester Square which is where many of the shops and restaurants are in the city, although I wanted to go to an English pub.. the lack of spicy food in Armenia had me craving something with a lot of flavour.. or any flavour really that was not cilantro, so when I came across an Indian Restaurant I was sold.

I walked around London for a few hours taking in all the sights. I saw Big Ben tower, the parliamentary buildings, westminister abbey and cathedral, and the London Eye (which looks so fun! But I didn’t have the time to go on it). From there I took a taxi to Buckingham Palace and walked around. I didn’t have time to do all the things I someday want to do in London, but it was a great taste of the city and I loved just walking around and taking it all in and looking at the architecture which is unbelievable. It definitely has me wanting to go back very soon.
My final flight home was rushed, as I almost didn’t make my flight because I was at the wrong terminal for a long while. I hate how large Heathrow airport is. It was also stressful as when I landed in Halifax I was taken aside at customs for having honey in my suitcase. They searched my honey but in the end they gave it back to me. My only worry was that I had three times the aloud amount of alcohol in my bags, but they never took any of my wine from me.. which I am SO thankful for. Armenian wine is the best wine I have ever had and I am so glad I was able to fit so much in my luggage.

So this is my farewell blog post, I had an amazing experience away and enjoyed documenting it! Although many of these posts were written in a rush as internet access was limited for the majority of my trip and was too slow to upload pictures and videos until I returned to Canada! Thanks for reading, and enjoy the photos now that they are up!
