London, England - Day Nine

---

September 28, 2006

Headed to Buckingham Palace this morning - no entry - boo! Spectacular on the outside though! Then did some shopping at Oxford Circus before heading to the upscale Harrod's. Pretty neat, but pretty pricey. Cool food halls and the Egyptian escalator is neat. Got to see Princess Diana's engagement ring on display. Wow. Tried to eat some lochs (raw salmon and cream cheese on a bagel) - but I could hardly stomach it. Overpriced and icky!

Then a LONG walk from Wellington Arch all the way through Hyde Park with a stop to see the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain. We walked then straight through to Kensington Palace and ended up back at the hotel. We then spent a huge amount of time packing.

Last London dinner was at the Hansom Cab in the Earl's Court area. Had some chicken and my last official shandy.

We're packed and all ready for the long journey home. Amazing trip and the experience of a lifetime!!

Had some fun on our long walk. This was right by Albert Hall.
