We had an early start again this morning. My goal today was to see the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. The changing of the guard is at 11:30..but I wanted to see it and see all of it, so I knew I needed to get there early. So Aubrey and I got there are 9:30 and got a front row seat right by the big gate and facing Buckingham Palace. The couple that was sitting next to us were from Colorado and so we started talking. They had been married for 52 years and before they got married he had promised her that he would take her to every place he had been during his time in the Navy. So sweet and such a nice couple. Well, two hours later the changing of the guard started and I got some great pictures and video! It ended about 12:30 and we headed for Hard Rock about 1/2 mile away.
We met our group there and had a good time just visiting with one another. Aubrey and I decided to tkae the tour of the vault. It had a bunch of guitars, clothing, papers that a lot of famous people had worn, used, or written. There were guitars from Nirvana, Elvis, the Temptations, Gene Simmons, Oasis, and the Beatles. So then we decided to get our picture made holding a guitar. Well, I chose Gene Simmons from Kiss...and the lady said well I can only take your picture if you stick your tongue out...so I did! It was really funny!
Our next stop was Greenwich where time is kept. We took our picture standing on the Prime Meridian so I was in tow places at once. We then took a ferry from Greenwich to Westminster. It was a 45 min. ride and it was so relaxing and pretty. The bad part was both of our cameras died after Greenwich..great. Well we got some hot chocolate at starbucks and headed back to the hostel. I had to pack because tomorrow is the big day...we are leaving for home in less than 24hours.
