I saw the Queen Twice!

With more than 10 hours of sleep, I'm ready to hit the town again. I checked out and moved to another hotel. This one is nice but it costs 60 pounds. I went to Buckingham Palce to see Changing of the Guards. I think I was too far away to see anything special and I was kinda bored but then suddenly a motorcade drove out of the palace. It was the Queen! She was in a turquoise outfit. I felt a moment of peace and tranquility. Wasn't that weird?

Then I went to see British Parliament and Westminster Abbey. Unfortunately the Parliament was closed for visitors that day. I went to see the Abbey and there's a long line up. It was so packed that it's really shoulders to shoulders. It's nothing special but I got to see where Queen Mary ( the slut ) of Scotland was buried. Kinda full circle of my trip.

I also went to the Thames. I was planning to go up the London Eye but it was so expensive and I was low on cash so I decided against it. The riverside is cool. It's a more relaxed part of London where people chill.

I walked past Trafalgar Square where there's a Canada Day Celebration. ( It's June 30 but England is playing Portugal the next day in the World Cup so they moved it up ) It's the first time ever in London. Lucky me. I spent several hours there and I got to watch Ron Sexsmith for the 4th time in my life. There were many expats having a good old drunk time.

Then I went to SOHO and have a pint. It's Friday night with great weather. The Brits were drinking out in the streets. I met some very nice locals. Who thought Londoners could be so nice? Then I went clubbing with some of them in flip flops! First time ever! Then walked back to my hotel around 2:30.
