Experiencing London Day 3

Buckingham Palace. The residential palace of Queen Elizabeth. Heavily guarded place and outside people are not allowed to enter unless there is a special invitation from the Queen herself. So what are we doing there? That is of course to watch the ceremonial changing of the royal guards. Usually the royal guards have to follow a strict procedure in order to change shifts. This ceremony only occur depending on the time and weather. And a lot of people from around the world came to admire it. There were infantry guards and even the cavalry guards(the ones on the horses). We got there early because we need to find a nice viewing spot. And 30 minutes before the start of the ceremony the metropolitan police officers started to do their duties to keep the visitors in line as to not disturb the ceremony.

The marching band.

Again with the infantry.

"I'm afraid you can't stand here. This is a walkway. Keep moving."

Next up is the Children's Discovery Centre.

A place for kids to explore their creativity by creating stories using their surrounding spaces. Very interactive learning for kids.

Lastly for today is the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park which was built for the 2012 Olympic games.

The centre for water olympic sports.

What is that? A rollercoaster? Awesome!

Sadly, no. Its just a viewing tower...

It's a nice place to chill really, the olympic park. wide outdoor space. Just sit down and enjoy the cold breeze. After resting our feet it's time to head out to our next destination. The Big Effin Ben. The Big Ben. Or the house of parliament. Whichever one.

Right behind the Big Ben is the famous Westminster Abbey church. It is the church where all the British royalties held their wedding. Even the recent Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and his Duchess, Kate Middleton.
