Our full day in London started with an early wake up so we could have a bus tour of the whole city.
We started in much more posh neighborhoods, where prices were a million pounds and up. They were beautiful but kinda discouraging to the vague idea I've always had of picking up everything and moving to London. We, of course, visited some of the more notable destinations:
Buckingham Palace. And the great thing is because the Union Jack is flying above the palace it means that the queen was not at home. So the palace was open for touring but it cost an arm and a leg to get in, so we just got the view from the outside. The bad thing about the queen being gone is that the full glory of the changing of the guards didn't happen.
Westminster Abby. And below, The Clock Tower, which houses the bell, Big Ben. As well as a super cute yellow car!
Next: St. Paul's Cathedral (from the bus), The Globe Theater across the river from the millenium bridge, Jess & Brian, the Thames festival!
This was something really neat that we got to experience. The Thames festival was going on so all along the Thames there were booths with merchants, music, food, and activities. It was such a cool part of London culture we got to see.
