    Final thoughts/observations:
    • London smells! Probably a result of very old sewage systems.
    • The old architecture was amazing, especially through the richer suburbs like Mayfair and Notting Hill.
    • There's hospitality venues everywhere and they are all packed! People drink on the sidewalk because there's no space inside.
    • We were expecting London to be cheaper than the Nordic countries but we were wrong! On top of the high prices, hospitality venues charged upwards of 10% for a service charge and a £1 compulsory donation to charity.
    • Not surprising but everything is so stereotypically British.

    These past two months have been absolutely phenomenal! It feels like yesterday that we were landing in Iceland on our first joint international trip but we sure have packed a lot of experiences into a short time period. Each country has had its own unique charm and beauty and we have loved each of them. We'll certainly be back one day!
