London

We stayed at this lovely B&B in the Sussex Downs. Nice rooms, fantastic 3 course dinner and full English breakfast all included in the price. We checked in early, took the train into London and then ran our tails off to make to Buckingham Palace in time for the changing of the guards.

This was a week day and the crowd was huge.

Can you imagine pulling this duty? No moving, no expression, just stand there.

Here's Buckingham Palace and that famous balcony.

Here's Jim and Jane having their balcony kiss.

Downing Street

Oops!!!

Big Ben and Westminster
The cue to get into the church was several blocks so we decided to spend our time touring the rest of the city rather than spending the day in line. If you go on a Sunday you can get in for free.

Pictures taken in the park.

That famous roadway leading to the palace.

This is like the Times Square of London.

I just love these buildings that take on the same contour as the road. Why straighten the road just curve the building.

Once again we had another full day. We spent about 6 hours touring London and then we crashed at the B&B for about an hour and then had a lovely 3 course meal and of course excellent company. We were all so tired and Jane had swollen ankles from so much walking.

Tomorrow it is off the Windsor Castle and Brighton on the coast.
