After breakfast we made our way to Buckingham Palace to see the changing of the guard. We got held up waiting for someone is out group who forgot something back and the hotel, so we were not there as early as we had wanted to be.
There were already tons of people there and it was a little crazy. Nate had gotten there before any of us because he left early to walk there because he still wasn't feeling very good. He tried to save us a spot, but that proved to be hard when others came and crowded in around him. Also, it was hard to know where to stand. If you are waiting by the road then you can't see what happens inside the palace gates, but then if you are at the gates you don't see the guards walking by on the road. But they play music inside the gates for like 15 minutes, so that probably is the best place to watch. We were by the road, but it was still a fun experience.
After it was over Nate, Amy, Derek, and Don all went to go tour Wimbledon. The rest of us made our way out of huge crowds and walked over to see Big Ben and then over to Westminster Abby. We then found a pub to have some lunch. It was an okay meal, my sandwich was very blah. I think Tony liked his food okay.
We then walked around some more and saw some more cool sites. We stopped in a few different shops. We then decided to go back to Piccadilly Circus to visit the chocolate store and get ice cream. We then walked around that area. We found China Town after walking down a street that ended up having strip clubs and adult stores. Lloyd was sure that is where China Town was located. We like to tease him about that now. We found that they literally only had Chinese Restaurants in China Town. No shops, no Chinese trinkets, just restaurants. So that was disappointing.
We then took the Underground back to our hotel where we then met back up with the rest of the group. We then had dinner and then called it a night early since we had to check out of the hotel the next morning.
