Very Potter Weekend

Starting the day off right

Part 2 of my adventure landed me and Sally in London visiting all the Harry Potter sites!! It was quite an adventure, this was the first time we were fully on our own for our trip but we enjoyed every moment of it!! But before I tell you all about it I just want to point out to all of you who tell me that I am directionally challenged that I navigated us from one end of the city to the other and we had to use a coach, the underground, the overground, and a bus! Not to mention that when we did get slightly lost it was due to the GPS on our way to the hostel and I got us out of that one too!

Tower Bridge!


The Shard up close and personal!

The Tower of London

Walking across the Tower Bridge!

Only 80 more days till Christmas

Apparently Krispy Kreme has gone international. Just not to the Northeast of the States.

Anyways our adventure began with a little wandering around London before meeting our muggle tour guide, Greta Granger for a tour of the Harry Potter sites and influences in London!














After a good night sleep we were off to the backstage tours of the Harry Potter sets. It was so amazing the only way to describe was just magical. It is so surreal to go through the sets of the movies I grew up with and see some of my favorite characters come to life. Pretty much I could talk about it for ever, so here are quite a lot of pictures instead!! (Don't worry it's nowhere near the 1050 photos Sally and I took throughout the weekend!!)
