Once we reached the palace the queues were amazing, not to mention the crowds just peering in through the bars. We aren't sure what they are waiting for but we thought it might have been the changing of the guard, which was in a mere hour!
We left this location and went in the direction of Harrods, yummy store. On the way we did catch sight of some interesting folk on horsed heading back the way we came.
At Harrods we lost ourselves among the lollies and chocolate, which was delightful. Though fifyteen pounds for a scoop of icecream in a bowl was stretching the friendly. We looked around the varies departments and even went into Tiffenies Though I could not persuade Ben in on account of us looking scruffle. (jeans and a t-shirt) But I was right at home with so much that sparkled, I even fancied a pair of earrings a mere 2793 pounds. Ben told me to keep dreaming, can you image.
Here is a view from the top of the bus
Next it was off to the National Gallery, which is free to get in and look around. We checked out all the greats, leonardo Da Vinci, Carvadio and Reubens to name a few. We raced through this with the understanding that we could still make it to see some of the Britsh Muesum, alas it was not to be. After spending an hour on the hop-on, hop-off bus (thought interesting) we walked the rest of the way only to find it as we had to head back. But never fear we will return and we have decided to limit each trip to a few locations, next will be to walk around the tower bridge, go to Tate Modren and the British Muesum. I guess Harrods will have to the one after than.
We also went passed number ten but as you can see not much to look at as the gate is as far as one gets.
