London
London was super amazing and I am glad that I went this weekend because I don't know what I would have done with myself in Bonn. I was so excited to finally see Big Ben, but when I first saw it I didn't recognize it because I thought it was supposed to be red. I don't know what other clock I could have gotten it mixed up with. I don't think there are that many other famous clocks. Also, I got to go up in the London Eye and see London from 443 ft up and at one point it was the world's largest ferris wheel (totally googled that). I also saw the London Bridge, Buckingham Palace (the queen was home when I went since the flag was up), the House of Parliament, the place Charles Darwin was buried in (it was a church, ironically), and other stuff that I can't remember. That was all on the first day and on the second day I saw a Premier League soccer game, which was amazing because it is soccer played at such a high caliber. I did so much in London that I was happy to get back and just rest before going to the Rose Monday Parade the next day.
Karneval
I didn't really get to do much Karneval, but the events that I went to were a lot of fun. I went to the parade on Thursday and got a bunch of candy that I then ate on the plane later that day. On Monday, I went to the Rose Parade in Bonn because I figured Cologne would be super packed and it wouldn't be as good of an experience. I wasn't even trying to get that much candy and I still ended up filling up a whole bag with it. I got smacked in the face with candy more times than I could count and then it would disorient me so I didn't even get to pick it up afterwards lol.Tldr; I got a lot of candy this week.
