It was a crazy day in London today. I went in early thinking I could do all the Queen's stuff and Buckingham area. Of course, the Queen's birthday was today so they had the Trooping the Colour which involved all the guards (bands, guards, horses, etc) parading in front of the crowd and before the Queen. I got to see the end of the parade and then saw the coaches. First was a coach with Camilla escorted by Princes William and Harry (mmmm...) and then another coach with some ladies (unknown) and then, drumroll please, her Royal Highness the Queen, Elizabeth II. It was so cool and I was so excited. I did get some pictures but to be honest, she didn't look too happy to be there. I guess she wasn't happy to turn 83 today (well, actually her real birthday is April 21). But it was still so cool. First the Pope and now the Queen - what a great trip!
After the parade, I walked around and went to Westminster Abbey and Cathedral - what an overpriced attraction. Then I met up with a few friends in London. First up was Mandy who I met on my first day of my trip and it was great to see how much our lives have changed in 4 months. Then it was great to re-connect with Tina who I met in Germany and Belgium. Overall, a great day. To top it all off, I saw a parade of naked bike riders. Only in London will you see the Queen in the morning and naked bike riders in the afternoon. Lets just say it was unexpected and totally hilarious. Only in London.
I am feeling a little better now - I just have to keep going. And I will definately have to sleep in tomorrow... sorry, lie-in.
Talk to you tomorrow,
Lisa
