With our second week here in London having come and gone I think about how much better I have become with navigating around this city. I now feel less like your typical clueless tourist, despite still visiting numerous tourist attractions. One of the places I visited was the HMS Belfast on the River Thames, a retired navy cruiser from the Second World War. Touring this enormous vessel was an interesting experience as it provided a glimpse into what life was like serving during the conflict. It was very difficult for me trying to get around the inside of the ship due to there being very low ceilings and countless places for me to hit my head...knowing this I couldn't imagine how hazardous it would be while in rough seas.
After our excursion to Ikea we made our way to Wimbledon to play a few sets on center court. For whatever reason they frowned upon the idea of us playing there. So we decided to take matters into our own hands and casually sneak past the gate for center court. We were able to just barely snap a few quick pictures before the old man that collects the tickets came and escorted us away. This event made our Wimbledon experience much more memorable.
