Vicky came to visit, and for once I was an excellent tour guide. Now that I have London down-pat, I was able to provide some sort of information to her, and didn't even get lost showing her around the sites. I even did something exceptionally wonderful, and accidentally wandered up to Buckingham Palace during the Changing of the Guard. Amazing luck!
At first we wandered up to a big crowd and got a bit frustrated that we could not seem to get to the other side (headed towards Green Park). Immensely annoyed at this, we pushed our way through the crowd, only to reach a police blockade. So uncalled for! We raged about the crowd for a bit longer, before reaching the intersection, where we were stopped from crossing by a police officer. I ask "WHAT is going ON today?"
"Well, the Changing of the Guard, of course!"
AH.MAZ.ING.
Really cool show - as for the rest of the day, we wandered around Londontown and showed the girls a real English good time, seeing as many sites as we could squeeze into one afternoon, including, of course, a stop off at a pub where we had plenty of Fish & Chips and cider! YUM!
