then we were in for a special treat! It was a day for Trouping of the Colours. This is a celebration of the Queen's birthday. She and the rest of the Royal family come out of Buckingham Palace in a parade. There were horses, soldiers and carriages. Our tour guide was on top of things and got us a great spot. We also experienced changing of the guards, saw Henry VIII's home, the London Eye, Big Ben and visited Westminster Abbey.
It was soon time to meet up with the others. We were proud that we were learning to maneuver the Underground all by ourselves! We caught up with everyone else and went on an evening tour of Jack the Ripper history.
On our way to supper, we got to walk through the area where Harry Potter's Diagon Alley was filmed! For supper we dined at Fuller's Ale and Pie House. The meal was authentic fish and chips with smashed peas and chocolate cake with cream for dessert. The fish and chips, as well as the cake, were great but I was not a fan of the peas.
We were treated to a short ride on double decker bus and got to see another Harry Potter scene spot, Platform 9 3/4.
Pretty neat, even if you're not a fan. After that, we had that oh so long trek back to the hotel and finally got to sleep around 2 AM.
Stay tuned for the next article as we head off to Paris!
