Big Trip: 2012

Wednesday, August 15, 2012

Last day in the UK

Knowing we need to leave to return to reality tomorrow we did a dry run to the train station that takes us to the Airport tomorrow. If anyone has taken the subway or tube stations you know they can be a little nerve racking until you know them better..
After taking care of our "need to know" we headed to Buckingham Palace to see the changing of the guard... There were more people there then any event.

We couldn't get near the fence due to the other 3000 folk that wer already there. We did however see the procession of the band and new guards coming on.
It was then down to Westminster Chapel, Westminster Abby and St. Margaret's Church.

Abby

St. Margaret's Church.

Off to hear Big Ben in his tower

walking all over. found the London Eye

didn't ride it

economy hits everyone hard and you have to make money however you can. even Pipping on the street site.

Went by the film Museum and thought of Mike Petros(brother-in-law).

August 14 two more days to go

Today we made the decision to stay in London and allow our friends to carry on to their friends home in southern London. We want to see more of the city now that some of it is open after the Olympics. Chris and Rhonda we hope to see you at the Airport... and Chris you would have loved this place it has a tennis court directly outside the door.. sorry you didn't come you could have put that racket you brought to use.

London for a second time is on..

Great train ride mates!
