New Years Eve

Yesterday we woke up at 7, got breakfast (I drank a whole pot of tea although it was probably the size of a large drink at starbucks) and then we got on the bus at 8. We drove 2 hours to see the Dover castle where they have underground tunnels that used to be a hospital and communication center in WWII. We toured the tunnels and then climbed up in the castle and looked off the top. After that we drove about 20 mins to Canterbury and saw the Canterbury cathedral. We had free time for a while after that to wander the shops and get food. It was so cold! We finally took the bus back to the hotel and then we went out to a New Year celebration. We were on the Waterloo Bridge (we think) and saw the fireworks that they were shooting off from the London eye.

The London eye is there on the left.
The crowd. It was crazy.
