Sadly this is last day of my 5 week journey through Italy, France, and now London. This is a bittersweet moment, I feel I have done my duties here but I have loved it so much. We ended our tours with Buckingham Palace. After having been on many tours throughout each place I have come to like an audio guide tour. They are informational, leisurely, and great. I knew nothing about Buckingham before going only that the Queen lives there. The architecture inside is amazing, it was done by John Nash. The ceilings were decorated with plaster and gold overlay. The cool part was that in one of the rooms there is a secret door where the Queen can come through. A palace isn't a palace without a secret door. I also learned that it was originally a house until with the help of Nash as an architect it was made into a palace. The staircase was really beautiful and it cost the money to show for it. We also went through a portion of the house where they had display cases of the dresses of the Queen. I thought it was really neat to see the different designs according to the commonwealth they were a part of. The colors of certain dresses related to the different countries she frequently visited. I also never knew that she was twenty six when she became Queen, very young yet classy. I thought it was a good opportunity to go here, I thought it was really pretty on the interior. It's weird we were in the same premises of the Queen, I wish I could say that I saw her. After seeing the greatness of what Buckingham had to offer, Lindsey and me went to hummingbird bakery. The cutest little bakery that is right by our flat. We indulged ourselves in a black bottom and red velvet cupcake. Only downside is that to eat in you must pay extra ha who would have thought that? We sure didn't, good thing for spare change right?
Notice the orb, deemed as baby ghost. It's always by me I'm cursed. Nachos-a great lunch
This day was summed up with a good clean of the flat and the packing of bags. We also had to have a farewell dinner to the great city of London. We went to Gourmet Burger Kitchen again as we ate deliciousness. Farewell London I did fancy my time I spent here, I hope to return one day.
As a final goodbye we decided to make a small tribute to the less fortunate. Everyday we would walk past a man that sat outside the Tesco with his two dogs. There wasn't once that I didn't wonder how they all three survived and what he mumbled every time we passed. As a good deed we decided to offer up our change to him which he gladly accepted and let us pet his cute cute dogs. From now on we realized that he asked for spare change which is now obvious, it was well worth giving up my last few pence. Although he was smokin a cig, I don't care what he decides to spend that money on. As we were here we did notice he got a clean cut and shaved the beard. Good for him.
Lindsey and me locked out. No one wants to walk down seven flights of stairs and then back up to let us in. I don't blame them
