It's been a great few days. Karen and I did yet another hop on/ hop off tour --- this time through London. We went all around the city, before hopping off at Buckingham Palace to watch the changing of the guard. Now, mind you, I've seen this before, but it just doesn't get old. We managed to finagle a good spot to watch the guards change, then sneak over to the street and talk to some of the mounted policemen. The weather was perfect and we simply decided to make the most of the day. That being said, we hopped back on the bus, and then took it over to Westminster. Anyone who saw our check-ins on fb, could see that we were all over London... checking in at places so people could follow our tracks through the city. The London Eye was again, a great experience... being able to look out over the Thames and see in every direction, was again, an awesome sight! By the end of the day, both Karen and I had our white towels out and were ready to wave them in surrender! We headed back to the hotel and got ready to go to Guildford for the next day!
Today we went to see Stonehenge and Windsor Castle. Now many people might say that Stonehenge is just a bunch of rocks. Many people would be right. But also, it's just the experience of being able to say, I was here! The grass was so green, and the sheep were everywhere, which made such a stark contrast to the cold grey of the stones. We easily filled up about 150 photos worth of shots, and then made our way north to Windsor Castle.
Mr. Floppy had a great day visiting the stones and seeing the castle! We had a great time wandering about the castle, looking at all the antiques and weaponry. Karen was more interested in the weapons than in some of the other things, like the wedding china (LOL). We managed to do the entire Castle with time to spare! It's midnight now, Karen is passed out, and I'm not far behind.... so on that note, Til then...
