London Day 5

Instead of attending a lecture or class this morning we headed over to Buckingham Palace for the changing of the guards. It was a cool event to see for sure. The Union Jack flag was even waving today meaning the queen was home. When they were opening the center gates the right gate even got stuck which cause a little bump in the event for a brief second until one of the police officers was able to open the gate the rest of the way. The main police officer over the area we were standing was quite hilarious. Cracking jokes about his horse and explaining how we should try to get a view as good his. After the changing of the guard we walked through green park before heading off to Nando's for lunch. Again with the mangos, Nando's has a mango and lime sauce which was just delightful. After lunch we took a short break before heading off to Canary Wharf for the London museum tour. While at the museum we focused mainly on the Blitz bombing events. Much of the bombing actually occurred on the ports where the museum was located. Now Canary Wharf is one of the fastest growing districts in London and is one of the most sought after places to live. Afterwards we did a brief shopping trip and dinner at the mall near Canary Wharf before heading back to to the university to hopefully catch up on some extra sleep this evening.
