Day two found us rested and ready to take on a day's assault on central London! The Missus had planned the day's activities which took us past Buckingham palace, towards Big Ben, along the Thames river, onto the tube to Piccadilly circus, and then back to the palace for a tour. Lastly was a walk through the neighborhood surrounding our hotel to a dinner at a near-by pub.
Off we go!
 |
| Buckingham Palace in the morning. We had tickets for a late afternoon tour so we had to get cracking and start our journey! |
 |
| Walking to Big Ben and the Thames. I saw the Guards regimental museum and wanted to stop but the Missus forbade any deviations to the schedule. Keep moving! |

 |
| We made it! |
