Free Day in London

---

The conference is over! We have a free day in London and had our programme all lined up.
It was too early for the Changing of Guards ceremony at Buckingham Palace. So we went to St James Park. There was an old man feeding the squirrels. No wonder they are so fat.

We waited outside the Palace gate for quite a while before the guards came marching in. The joke is that we did not even get to see the ceremony within the gate after the guards marched in. It was sooo crowded. Nevertheless, the music was nice, folk songs.

After a long lunch at Hard Rock Cafe (we waited quite a while for the food), we went to The Tower of London. We have 50 mins to tour the tower before it closed and we paid 15 pound for the 50 mins!

Of course we would not miss the Tower Bridge - one of the "must see" in London. We crossed the bridge and walked along the river Thames to see London Bridge before proceeding to Oxford Street for some last minute shopping.
