8a. Wake up. Well, more like 7:45a I suppose. Get ready. BBC News (as is tradition now). A gorgeous day in London. Leave. Down three floors. On the streets. Now then, whats for breakfast. Long walk to the Square (Trafalgar). Food? The “Pret”. A popular health chain over here. Two rolls. And two orange juices. Eat in cafe. Done. Explore. Walk up to Regent street. A shopping district. Long walk. London is great! Very big. Getting hot. Sun is out. Apple store London! Explore shop. And more shops. Changing of the guard is at 11:30a. We want to get their a tad early. Better catch a tube back that way. No way we’ll make the walk in time. Down three flights of staris. Way. Way Way. Underground. Swipe Oyster card. On tube. Pass is great. Southbound. Bumpy train. Arrive. Off tube. Up lots of stairs. On street. Now to palace. Follow crowd. Yikes. Lots of people. Changing of the guard starts soon. 11a. 11:15a. I can hear some kinda marching band. And it begins. Lovely tradition. 30 minutes later. It’s over. A bunch of people turned up for the event. Explore. Photos. Video. Almost 1p now. Take tube up to Tottenham Court Station. Walking to British Museum. Following signs. And we’re there. Fantastic architecture. The building is great. Free. Awesome. A dome. BTW: we ate a quick lunch at Costa Coffee on the way here. Museum is enormous. Biggest one I’ve ever seen. Rosetta Stone! 90 rooms. Egypt. Greece. Rome. Assyria. Japan. Africa. Europe. Americas. Just to name a few topics. Really an incredible place. Explore. Done. Time to rest. Found a small park. Sit. Rest. The city is so large that we aren’t able to venture back to our hotel for a break in the afternoon. And we’re walking back towards the tube. One Tube. Stop at Leicester Square. Exploring square. Stanfords travel store. This is the theater district. Maybe we’ll see a show. Opted not to tonight. Walk to Little Italy. Again with the Italian for dinner. Loveing it. Brilliant. Eat. Very good. Waiter was very good. Sounded like an Italian accent. Take a couple tube lines back to hotel for the evening. hmm. Something is happening at the Tate Britain. Investigate. A Fashion Show. Kinda High-End. Lots of photographers. Exclusive. Whoa! London is having Fashion week 18th-22nd. Victoria Beckham is at this show. And Emma Watson. And Liv Tyler. Wow. I’m snapping Photos. Paparazzi are everywhere now. Crazy. Event is over. Everyone is one the street. Must be an after party down the street. Walking with crowd, as our Hotel is the same way. Some super fashionable ladies are commenting on my style from behind us. “He looks like a surfer with trainers on.” hahaha. Awesome! Out of the crowd. Back to hotel. It has been a crazy day. 12 hours of non-stop exploration. Bed.
