We then head out of the Bayswater Metro station after purchasing an Oyster card. Why does everything seem to be so much more than I remember? We hop the tube and go to Victoria station where we talk to a fellow selling tours as Sue and I have decided to take the all day tour to Stonehenge, Windsor Castle, Bath and Lacock. Includes lunch at a 14th century pub. We will be gone 10 hours. Long day but should be worth it. I love giving it up to someone else to arrange things for a change. That done we head to Buckingham Palace.
It's 10 to 12 so I think we'll see changing of the guards. Wrong! Just missed it. Oh well.
It's a nice day and the gardens around the palace are beautiful.
We walk to Trafalgar Square where they are setting up for a free concert at 6:30 with the London Symphony Orchestra.
We then head to the River Thames and see the parliament buildings, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and the London Eye.
Westminster Abbey
We grab lunch at Tesco and board the boat for a tour down the Thames.
We go to Grenwich Village and then disembark at Tower of London on the way back.
It's closed now so we will come back tomorrow. We go back to Trafalgar Square to hear the symphony but it's a gong show.
Too many people so Sue and I decide to take the tube back closer to our hotel.
We get off at High Street Kensington thinking we will go back to the pub we liked. When we got there it turns out the kitchen was closed to everyone because they were doing a special party thing. Ended up going next door to a place called the Spaghetti House. It was excellent! Then we walked to the hotel through Kensington Gardens. Took about 30 minutes.
Another wonderful day! Off to bed to gear up for another great day tomorrow.
