Well everything got 'real' as we began to prepare for our move back to the States. Despite the hectic time, we were still able to squeeze in a few things here and there :)
We couldn't miss the parade to celebrate Chelsea's maintaining their champion status... especially when it was going right through the neighborhood!
There were two huge screens set up for the crowds to watch... and what an interesting fan base this team has!
There were thousands of people and everyone was throwing celery?! Not sure what the celery was for but we got hit by a few. I will never forget the team chants echoing through the streets either!
As tradition, we both had our respective leaving do with work.
Here are a few pictures from Jeff's drinks
I think one could call it a success!
We had a few days after our last working day to hit up more on the bucket list before our back packing adventure began!
We had always wanted to go to the transport museum... so we did :)
It was really cool to see how the underground started and how it much it affected the growth of the city and how people lived and worked.
Given we were in the land of Shakespeare...
it would just be wrong to not tour Shakespeare's Globe.
We would have loved to see something there, but we were happy with a tour. It was very informative and we had a pretty funny guide!
On the last day... it only made sense to go to the Sky Garden at the top of the 'Walkie Talkie' and take in the view of the city we have called home for the last 2 years!
We had a beautiful day and clear skies to see for miles.... we could see the Shard
... and we could see Tower Bridge
With a beautiful garden inside...
and tasty treats, it was the perfect send off!
With our bags packed... the next stop was the French Open!
