I made it! I’m jetlagged af, but I’m here. Feeling better after going to bed early tho. My friend’s flight was delayed overnight, so I spent the first day on my own just wandering around. I stuck close to the hotel so I wouldn’t get lost, and because I was exhausted anyway. Nothing too exciting to report so far. I’m loving the accents, though they are hard to understand. It makes me wonder how mine must sound to them.

Today we are going to stand in line to pay tribute to the queen, which is the entire reason my friend is here to begin with. I decided I wanted to join her, even though the queue is like 8 hours, because it’s such a huge historical event. I’d regret not trying. Hopefully my body will cooperate.
