The breakfast
The free breakfast at the hotel was great: everyone can have to two fried eggs, bacons plus all the usual stuff. We never have such big breakfast at home. This big meal kept our stomach from complaining until 5pm. This is very good because the food here is so expensive that we can only afford one meal a day :-)
The Royal place
We went to Buckingham Palace to view the change of guards ritual. We arrived an hour ahead of time but there was already a big crowd there with all the strategic points taken. I wonder what would happen if the Queen were going to come out. We didn't see the Queen, of course, but did go to the Queen's Gallery to view her personal possessions. The gallery was a disappointment. It was so small that it is definitely not worth the 15 pound ticket. We should have used the money to have a good dinner.
The Parliament, the Big Ben, the Westminster Abbey
These are magnificent buildings. We finally saw them 30 years after we read about them in our English textbooks. The weather is great today. (Yesterday was too cold.) We were able to take some good pictures.
