The London Eye, Tower of London, Buckingham Palace

The gates of Buckingham Palace


They pack some heat here in London


Changing of the Guards. There were HUGE crowds. Because this was the last day that the Queen was in residence before she left for Windsor castle this was a big deal. The red guards were replaced by RAF. This probably took at least 2 hours. The bands played fun songs such themes from Magnum PI, A-Team, etc...



Our picnic lunch in the park. We had to "rent" these chairs for 1.50 pound/chair. I didn't even care at this point. My feet and back were killing me and I needed somewhere to rest.

Our own personal beefeater. He was our tour guide for the Tower of London. He was great fun and since it was a free tour the price was right.
