Buckingham Palace & Covent Garden

Today we all woke up relatively early and were able to go sightseeing! Laura, Sami and I went to Buckingham Palace first, walked to the Wellington arch area and then took the tube to Covent Garden to browse the shops and get dinner :)

We took the tube to Victoria station and walked the rest of the way to Buckingham & passed the Royal Mews on the way there... still not entirely sure what's inside... that'll be a trip for another day :)

Casual roomie re-enactment of the statues outside Buckingham... yup people were staring and laughing haha

 

it was actually a really nice day when we started out and all of a sudden the clouds rolled in

Gates to Green Park

the guards :)

Then we went to Wellington Arch and saw all the memorials they had in that square. On the walk there we passed by the police on horses!
