Friday September 6 – Our last full day in London we head to the changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace. The synchronisation was very impressive, the bands were great too. The V&A After the Changing the Guard we headed to the V&A. It was amazing place. Downing Street On the way home we headed…

Thursday September 5 British Museum In a celebration of English culture we joined the long queue in front of the British Museum. Only to be told that we were in the wrong queue, and to join another long queue at the rear of the British Museum. The British Museum is fairly mad, not Soane Museum…
