Day 11- Wednesday, December 25

Today is Christmas Day! We woke up at 9 am and went to the Balthazar restaurant which is in central London. This was a great Christmas breakfast! They had all kinds of breakfast foods and we had a nice time with each other. After breakfast we went back to the hotel to open our gifts that we got each other. We all loved the presents! By the time we finished all of that is was already 11:30. We went out to the streets of London and everything was so beautiful! The lights and Christmas decorations were amazing.
We then decided to go ice skating in one of London's many outdoor rinks. It was located at the London eye on the South Bank. It was beautiful! By the time we finished ice skating it was already 3:30. We decided to have an early dinner since it is Christmas and we didn't have lunch.

We went to dinner at a fancy restaurant called Greig's. It was perfect for Christmas dinner and they had great food! We were there for about two hours so by the time we left it was already about six. Since we had a long week and the trip was winding down we decide to go see a movie to relax. When the movie was over we went back to hotel.

When we were back at the hotel we were talking about how great London was so far! We definitely would recommend for other tourists to go to London during Christmas time! London is truly spectacular at any time of the year but during Christmas time there is something truly magical about it.  There is so much to do and so much to see and going during Christmas just makes it that much more amazing!  London is beautiful during Christmas time and is an excellent place for tourists, from any country to visit during the Christmas season!

 We had a great Christmas day in London. It is a Christmas we will never forget!
