Our trip to London. We decided to be stereotypical tourists and took
pictures of all the typical stuff. Here is Big Ben with the Millenium
Eye in the background. |
The beginning of the "Changing of the Guard" in front of Buckingham
Palace. |
The "Beefeaters" that have guarded the Royal Family since the
beginning. |
|
Famous "black cabs." London cab drivers needs to study an average of 3
years to drive one of these. They need to know the name and location of
nearly every street in London. |
We took loads of rides on the double-decker buses. |
