London Day 3:

Today was quite a hectic day. I ended up waking early and actually rushed to get breakfast then ran to get to Glouster station to meet one of my high school friends, Daniel. The circle station was actually delayed for 30 minutes sadly but at least I got to meet him? We ended up getting paninis, and then he went to his internship whereas I ran to finish packing and checking out of the hotel. 

Afterwards, I went to the UK Supreme Court. For those who don't know, the UK Supreme Court is like the US Supreme Court in the sense that it's the highest appellete court in the system/ court of last resort.  Personally, I didn't actually find the UK Supreme Court to be all that interesting, but I guess here are a few facts about the UK flower / UK Supreme Court interior?

In the UK Supreme Court there is a carpet with the 4 flowers of the UK: The Tudor Rose (England), the Thistle (Scotland), the Flax Flower (Northern Ireland), and the Leek (Wales.) Interestingly, both Northern Ireland and Wales have other national flowers i.e. the Shamrock, and the Daffodil respectively. The emblem of the Carpet was designed by Sir Peter Blake (the person who designed the Beatle's Album, "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.") 

After the UK Supreme Court tour, me and a few of the UCEAP interns ended up rushing to get onto the train at King's Cross Station. I know I did this in 2012, but I couldn't resist doing it again... so I did take a picture at Platform 9 3/4. Fun fact... now they have someone taking your picture for you + you can choose what scarf you want to wear to represent your Hogwarts House :). Unfortunately, that photo was accidentally deleted on my phone, so I will have to upload another picture another day.
After all that, I boarded the train from London to Edinburgh and pretty much passed out from 3 days of action packed adventure.

Anyways, until next time,

Cheers!
