Today Amanda and I went to Buckingham Palace to watch the changing of the guard. We were walking to the palace and decided to take a little detour since we had some extra time before the changing took place. We walked pass another palace that was just across the road from Buckingham and there were a bunch of people standing around the gate to the place, so Amanda and I walked the way and were just to the crowd and the gates started to open and cars pulled out, in one of the cars sat the Queen and Prince Charles. So that was really cool that we got to see the queen. We did not get any pictures of her since both of us still had our cameras in our bags but it was still cool to be able to say that we saw the queen.
After that we walked around and took pictures and found out that they were only going to do a small changing ceremony that day because of the weather. So we headed out just after they started. We then went to the British Museum. I showed Amanda around the museum and told her some of the stuff that I had been told when I had my tour of the place. After the museum we got some food at a little restaurant and went and ate it at a park that was not far away. We stopped back at the hostel for a minute since we were really close.
When we were done at the hostel I went and showed Amanda where I lived at while I was in London. I also showed her Heralds’ which is the huge shopping store in London that is really expensive. After that we went to see Big Ben and Parliament, Westminster Abbey and the London Eye. After that we went to the Tower of London and the Tower Bridge. We then stopped at Piccadilly Circus on our way back to the hostel. That was our day. It was nice to be able to show someone else again everything that I had seen while I was in London.
