Only two days left in London before we head back home. We've been really busy exploring England since we got here and been getting up so early and getting back so late that we haven't had time to sit down and go through photos and upload much.
Here's a quick summary of the things we've done since we got here:
* Walked through the west end and saw 10 Downing Street, Westminster Abbey, the Horse Guards changing, Big Ben, Scotland Yard
* Went up on Tower Bridge and got an awesome view and heard the history about it
* Had a Yeoman tour of London Tower and got to hear some of the history of the Castle.
* Walking tour of the London Square Mile - where the old city of London once stood and heard about the Great Fire of London, the Black Plague and the Blitz
* Exclusive shopping in Knightsbridge - Harrods, Harvey Nichols and all the expensive shops here.
* Visited Camden Markets - HUGE markets and spent ages browsing the stalls and buying nick-nacks.
* Got half price tickets and got to see a couple of theatre shows - Boeing Boeing and Stomp! - Both were great shows!
* Spent an entire day in the National History Museum
* Saw the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace
* Day Tour to Stonehenge, Salisbury Cathedral, Bath (and the ancient Roman Baths)
* Day Tour to Oxford, including Christchurch - the place where sections of Harry Potter's Hogwarts were filmed and based on, Stratford-upon-Avon - the birthplace of Shakespeare, and Warrick Castle.
* Visited Greenwich Royal Observatory, saw the Greenwich Meridian Line, and visited the Planetarium.
Today we plan to do some shopping on Oxford Street and then tomorrow we'll be spending with my cousins and family before we head back to Perth!
