Weekends are the best!

Started my Saturday with a waffle party after the gym. Made regular and chocolate buckwheat waffles. (The chocolate ones had Cadbury biscuit piece milk chocolate pieces chopped in it)
For toppings we had: bananas, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, Nutella, chocolate syrup, ice cream, whipped cream, and chocolate chips

Okay so Crazy Rich Asians was a hilarious movie! I haven’t had a movie make me laugh like that in a while. Also turns out... the UK doesn’t have buttered popcorn. Your choice is sweet, salty, or sweet and salty. (Sweet essentially is kettle corn) Plus for extra you can add toppings of mini Oreo's, Rolos, pretzels, or M&Ms. (I went with the sweet popcorn with mini Oreo's)

Then by surprise today, while I was at the gym, I got a notification that I got off the wait list for the London Eye just about an hour beforehand! So of course I had to go!

Afterwards, I went on those swings things that spin really high in the air. I don’t know what it’s called, sorry. But there is a video attached + a picture of Aruni and I before we took flight.

Afterwards my friends and I stopped by the Southbank Centre Market. (Now I was gonna eat healthy the rest of this week due to the amount of diabetes a consumed yesterday, but I couldn’t pass up an opportunity like this)

First, I bought a sugar coated, Nutella filled donut from galeta. I was going to stop there, BUT I saw the chocofruit stand! There I got a white, milk, and dark chocolate covered banana with chocolate bits, hazelnut, and marshmallows. (This was actually saved as one of the places I wanted to try and I bought it by accident ... can check that off the list now)

This weekend was AMAZING!!! I’m really starting to love London now.... off to study for my Chem test

Today I took a Harry Potter walking tour starting at Leicester Square and saw some of the spots where the filming took place.

Along the way we stopped by Borough Market. There I bought a gooey fudgey brownie and a vanilla chocolate & cookies gelato cone.

Later tonight I will being going to a movie theater in Covent Gardens to see the new movie, Crazy Rich Asians. (The theater is one of those fancy theaters with reclining chairs!)

When I heard we were going to Tate's I got VERY excited.

Then we arrived at our destination and I found out that we were not going to a cookie factory, but an art museum!  But not just any museum but "The home of British art from 1500 to the present day".  Still disappointed; I was looking forward to some excellent cookies.  Apparently Tate's is in Southampton, NY USA not Southampton,UK.  Do you think I can write the required 500 word essay comparing Tate's cookies to Tate Britain Museum?

Tomorrow marks 3 weeks of being in London ...

How did I survive this long?

Pictures of Hyde Park, UK chocolates, pastries, Kings Cross Station, and Fuwa Fuwa Cafe Japanese pancakes.

Went to a Carnival today... I would not recommend going... I did get some GREAT pics with friends though

The highlight of my day was taking a trip to practically the only Dunkin Donuts in London. 
Lucky for us it just opened last week.

The plan originated when I discovered not only was I missing Dunkin cause Starbucks isn’t as good, but there was a whole little group of us. Now we have started a trend. It’s only 3 stops from the dorms... took us longer to decide what to order than to get there.

Did over 34,000 Steps or almost  17 miles today.
