| Our last day
was our free day, so after breakfast I headed to
Buckingham
Palace
to pick up my timed entry ticket for the Royal Treasures, a Golden
Jubilee Celebration. While
waiting to get in I took the opportunity to walk around a bit and lo
and behold if I didn’t run into the Changing of the Guard.
What a sight to see and the people sure seemed to enjoy all
the marching and playing. I
later walked down the Mall and took a few pictures, then headed back
to go into the exhibition.
After viewing this I headed over to
St. James Park and to Spencer House and a guided tour.
What a treat to go through this place.
This was the first neo-classical house built in
London
and was it impressive. At
the entrance to St. James Park, you will see a picture of a gate
that I took, this is the Canada Gate.
Also a picture of the famous Christie’s Auction House.
A
leisurely walk back to my hotel, time for a short nap then packing,
dinner our last time together and home the next morning.
Another wonderful tour and new friendships made.
