Halloween in London

Hello,

In 2010 I went with my sister, parents and family friend to London for Halloween. Because in Belgium we don't really celebrate it enough, we think, we wanted to go somewhere they did.
Here's our story.

We went with the Eurostar and left from Lille (France). Once at the checkpoint they see my identity card is expired and i can't get on the train. I call the taxi driver from my travel company and ask him to go back to my home and get my international passport, then I call my brother who is home that the driver will get my passport. The rest of the group took the train and I waited for the driver and could take the next one. Once also I arrived in London we first went to the hotel and dropped the bags of. We stayed at the Holiday Inn and I was really pleased with this hotel, really nice service.
Then we took a bus to Buckingham Palace and visited around. Then we went to the London Eye because my sister, my dad and Stéphanie had tickets to go on it. Me and my mom went for a cup of tea while waiting for them. After an hour I guess they where back, but they didn't get on the London Eye, they had tickets with the time on it but the waiting time was still 3 hours and they didn't felt like it anymore. So then we went shopping :)

The second day it was Halloween!! After an amazing breakfast we went on a 2 hours walk with the Harry Potter tour, we went to all the places where they filmed for the movie, daigon alley, the leaky cauldron,... It was so much fun, cause we all are great fans of the books and movies! At one point it started raining and I fell but apart of that it was amazing. After this tour we went eating at Burger King. Then we went to the London Dungeon, yes we did that on Halloween :) My sister was so scared, I think she even cried at one point, but she was only 12 at the time so she did good for her age. It was scary, I have to admit that.

The thirth and last day we went to Madame Tussauds after breakfast. It was so much fun and we laughed so much and at the end it even was scary. You had so many actors there :) They just had made a private section for Robbert Pattinson where you could let take your picture with him. But at that time it was closed and I really wanted a picture... So Stéphanie got ready with my camera and I jumped over the rope to get a picture with him. Just at that time the photographer arrived, he was friendly and asked if I wanted a picture he took from me, and yes I did it :)  In the afternoon we did a little shopping before we had to go home again.

This was an amazing Halloween trip! One day we will go to the U.S.A. to celebrate it, who knows... I always love traveling with my family! Let me know how you feel about traveling with family ;)

Love,
Sarah
