Walkabout

My feet are sore.
Today we walked down to Buckingham Palace to watch the changing of the guard. HUGE spectacle. Masses of people hanging around for it, irate guards/security moving people along to let it run smoothly....HIGHLIGHT we saw the Queen drive past! and we saw Prince Charles drive past, and we saw a squirell in the park! very cute. The squirell, not so much the Royals.


We then braved the tube for the first time - found it way easier to understand and use than all the hype makes out - and went to explore the Tower of London. MASSIVE PLACE. Beautiful buildings, beautiful grounds, amazing history.

Later we went to the Tate modern and used our last scrap of energy strolling around looking at art.

Very cultured day. very tired now.
Tomorrow we move backpackers and head out to Shepherds Bush. We might just try find our way to Abbey road for a much wanted photo op.

Loving it x
