Part 103: They Wanted to See The Queen

Howdy doodie,

Today was a looong day. We did all the touristy sides of London which were, to put bluntly, okay. We left at 10.30 in order to arrive on time and see the changing of the guards at Buckhingham Palace. We arrived on time and were instantly disapointed as you can not actually get a photo with the guards because they're all on the inside of the gate. Stupid. Guards. This put in me in a bad mood because personally, I didn't really care much for anything else in London EXCEPT getting a photo with the guards and trying to make them laugh. Fail, London. Fail. We then stood around while it started to rain in the masses of people only to be told the changing of the guards had been canceled about 30 minutes later. Annoyed, we left. Buckingham Palace failed. We did see a chariot thing go around though which was okay I guess.

We walked back through a garden which was nice because there were squirrels. On this journey we made our way past the Marbel Arch which was pretty cool and marble-like. We also sat and had our second pre-packed lunch which was awesome again with salad and pita bread and mmmm so good. It did pour with rain though while we ate but it was cool because Sharon had left us an umbrella each for the day. She's awesome. There was also an awesome Australian War Memorial thing there After the Marble Arch we arrived back at Oxford St where we went once again into Primard for Louisa who wanted to pick something up. There, I got some awesome underwear that say England on them woo!

We trained over from Oford St over to Parliament Houses where Big Ben rests and all of Westminsters main stuff is. London is dodgy, Westminster is gold. We walked around there and took photos with red telephone boxes and with Big Ben. We also saw Westminster Abbey and all the other old, beautiful buildings in the area. It really was a nice area and finally I was impressed. It was good because then we walked down to Trafalgar Square but then it wasn't because it was another disapointment because all the lions were blocked of so they could set up some display. I was kinda annoyed because that was my plan B photo which failed.

We next went into the National Gallery but Louisa didn't want to go to it at all so I dragged her along and only really got a chance to see Vincent Van Goghs stuff. It was much more impressive than the Mona Lisa because you could stand in front of it and actually see it. Yay for the flowers and the chair piece. I was happy and much more impressed than the ones that I saw at Highview College... by the year 7s. We left. We then arrived attttt...where did we arrive? Oh we walked over to London Bridge. It was an epic journey and we passed Mellenium Bridge which was in Harry Potter. At London Bridge I made the video below. Win.

It took ages to walk there and the bridge was cool. I like it.

We then trained back home and then we had tea which was great and now I am watching friends. Oh! Sharon and I had a conversation about what we could remember from ages ago. T'was wonderful.
