Ciao Italia, Hello Lovely London

Sunday, October 10
-----------------
After five days of endless exploring, wonderful meals and tons of picture taking, our fall break was set to come to a close.  Our final morning in Rome, we decided we would allow ourselves to sleep in a bit, which was a welcome change from all of our early mornings during the week.  We enjoyed a leisurely breakfast in the room (making sure to take as many of the Nutella packets as could fit into our bags) before making the quick walk to the Roma Termini Station.  We caught a shuttle to the Roma airport, where we whisked through security and hung out before we boarded our first flight to Milan.  Although it was delayed by about an hour, luckily it was the same plane as our connecting flight, so we got really lucky!  After a relaxing trip back to Heathrow, we were finally back in the UK, and honestly we were so thrilled.  Being in Italy was absolutely amazing, but we all realized through traveling how much we love it here in London.  When we exited Gloucester Road Station, it was almost euphoric, we felt like we were really home.  We all laughed and smiled in excitement as we walked back to Courtfield, a gorgeous sunset shining above us.  After dropping our things back in our beloved dorm room (never though we would miss our shower as much as we did!), we walked down to South Ken Station to pick up some (really really good) Chinese takeout.  We all sat in our kitchen talking about all our adventures and our week ahead.  Although we were exhausted, we were just so happy to be back in London.  After finishing our dinner, we all unpacked before saying goodnight, as we have a big, exciting week ahead of us.  Internships are upon us; time to say hello to the real world!
