Today we left and walked to Buckingham Palace for a photo
opportunity, then we went to The Royal mews (The Queens Royal Stables). It was here we saw the royal carriages which
were at times spectacular!
We then went to the Queen's Gallery where there was a garden theme to the art display.
After a milkshake, we could have any flavour we wanted so
long it was Oreo flavour, we went to Westminster Abbey which was in parts quite
impressive, there would have people buried there more than you can poke a stick
at, including the Unknown Soldier and the Coronation chair and the tomb of
various kings and significant people in great Britain. We did a phot opportunity from Westminster
Bridge where we could see The London Eye, Big Ben and Parliament House. We walked to the Guards Museum but it closed
at 4.00PM so we braved the Underground or Tube for the first time. I was impressed, it was well signposted and
the trains themselves are well equipped with maps and digital displays.
Tonight we caught up with Narelle and Bill and it was great,
a lovely meal and conversation, we chatted a lot about our trip and their trip to France, Italy and Austria. We met at Harrods and went to
an English pub but I don’t know remember the name something likes “Bunch of
Grapes”, “Grapes of Wrath”, “Sour Grapes” or something like that. They are off to France tomorrow.and they should have a fabulous time.
