Day 22 London

On Day 22, Amber and I went to go see the London Tower, and Michael went to walk around an ally dedicated to The Libertines to explore and look around. Now at the tower with Amber and I, it was the most Mid evil castle I’ve ever seen. Wood floors, Crown Jewels, even a prison. It also had an eerie vibe it felt like something could jump out and grab you at any moment.

They also had huge crows, like 4 times the size of any pigeon and maybe 12 times the size of a Robin. The always have crows at London Tower because there used to always be crows around. It was then said that if the crows leave, the kingdom would fall. So, now they breed crows and clip their wings so they always stay.

But after the Tower of London, we walked to something called the F1 Arcade. It was Michael’s idea ever since I fell in love with F1. It was so much fun and very hard. The video game felt so real, it drew me in. I was 1 of the 20 drivers on the grid from my best races to my worst, I felt like I was in the cockpit. The pedals were just like how I imagined, light pressure from the throttle, hard push for the brake. The wheel was smoother into the turn with slight resistance. The game was so realistic, it made all my dreams come true. The first race was hard to find my groove, but I soon learned that you brake into the apex of the turn. Then you accelerate the car at the apex to not fall off the track into the gravel pit. Once you turn into a straight, you push to mode 7-8 (225mph-250mph) so you maximize distance from the your distance rivals. Also when turning maximize speed and minimize distance, go to the wide to then turn to the inside. You can tell from all of the details that I really love F1.

After the amazing F1 experience, we decided to go to the room for a little bit so I watched the Olympics for awhile. When we were ready, we went to the London Eye for our timed tickets. It was an incredibly long line but we got an incredible view in exchange. We could see at least 40-50 miles out into London. It was perfect views for our last day in London.

When we got off the London Eye, we had an amazing Indian dinner, it was underground in like a tunnel type of place. We spent dinner reflecting on our trip, bringing up favorite moments.

After dinner, we went to a place called Selfridges which had an a DeLorean and on the same floor had a Red Bull Racing shop. Also on the bottom floor of the mall they had a McLaren F1 car that Fernando Alonso had driven in. We first went to this store because I say a window display for F1 when we went by on the bus days ago. Secretly Amber researched and found out they had an F1 car inside. I was so surprised. I was glad I got to buy F1 gear for my final souvenir.
