Tour Guides for a Day

We had a great last day for our outdoor pursuits. The weather was amazing however it was a little windy. My OP group was going to go kayaking however we ended up going together with Anna's OP group for the day. We ended up just sea level traversing, swimming, absailing (repelling), playing games, and barbecuing. We played butt wrestling, WAA!, nose jousting, and many other crazy games. It was a good day to just lay out, hang out and chill together. It was a bitter sweet moment because we all really enjoyed it however I suppose it must come to an end sometime. We were running out of things to do as well but who says you can't do something twice. It will be nice not having to wash and rinse all the salt water out of all your clothing every Thursday though.
We got into London last night after a few delays. Mostly because we missed a connecting train because our train was late due to sheep on the tracks.... imagine that. We got into our hostel at about 2 but we did get to finally ride on a double decker bus however.
Today we spent the day with the Central Group that is going to Malawi Africa for two weeks on a mission trip. They got into the airport around 12:30 and then their flight took off around 7 tonight. Anna and I went with half of them because we waited for awhile longer for someone to come in on a later flight. We had a chance to show them Big Ben, the London Eye, Westminster, and the parliament building. They were tired after being up for almost 24 hours and they had another 6 hourish flight tonight to make it to Africa. We were able to show off our big city navigation skills and also what we have learned since being here so many times.
We have all day tomorrow and the morning on Sunday to chill in London before we head to Barcelona Sunday night. We will probably make to a few parts that we haven't seen yet. Them being Camden Market and No. 10 Downing St. Nothing real big or taxing. We have gotten into the habit of hitting up the fast food joints, i.e. Burger King and McDonalds, for their free internet, of course you then have to get ice cream.
We are all set up for our trip to Barcelona. We will just show up eat the cheap fruit, nuts, and fish. The rest of the time we should just be hanging out on the beach taking in the rays, maybe this time with some precautions.
