First Day of walking around.

The closest station to our hotel, about a 3 minute walk.
The best Ice Cream I ever did taste.
 Today we went to Buckingham Palace and went inside for the tour. It was really amazing. The photos you see don't show quite how amazing it is. It took about 2 hours to go through the whole tour. After we had been through we had high tea in the Palace Gardens cafe. It was really lovely although a little windy. After that we walked for MILES up to Piccadily Circus and Leicester Square. We ate Ben and Jerrys Ice Cream - YUMMY! We also went shopping at the hugest sports store. There were 6 floors and in the mens shoes there were about 800 different shoes. Just for the mens!!

The Guards at Buckingham Place, they really do stand so still
 its crazy.
Daniel got a cool pair of the lastest Nikes for 37 pound - about $NZ74. Everything was soooo cheap. We had McDonalds for breakfast and it only cost 13 pound for all of us. It is much cheaper than NZ for most things. Even 500 gms of fancy cheese was only 2 pound at the supermarket. We caught the tube every where - SUCH FUN! The travel passes we got for about $200 NZ have been worth their weight in gold as we have travelled so much on them already. We also had our first pub lunch of Nacho's and a Ploughman's Platter.
Girl Guiding in the UK. I couldn't believe it :)
