While studying abroad last year, I decided I wanted to take advantage of the cheap air fare and see as much of Europe as possible. It was November and our first official break since the school year had started so my friends and I decided to start planning a trip and we decided on London. England is only a 45 minute plane ride from Dublin. As soon as I closed my eyes when the flight took off, I opened them and we were already landed! London is a huge city, much bigger than Dublin which we were expecting. We first stopped at the major attractions such as the London eye and Birmingham tower then as the week went on we made tried to find more lesser known attractions away from tourists. One of my favourite spots we found was Hyde Park. It was a large magnificent park that we got to bike through.
