London Victoria Station, my my look at the time

Buckingham Palace was the first stop after lunch. We went to shop a little bit after lunch at “NEXT” and saw some Matthew kind of shirts. We went over to the gates of the Palace. Not many pictures were taken as we only had till 15:45 to visit the interiors of Buckingham Palace, but more will be taken I am sure when we return.

The building beside Buckingham

Also beside

Look in the distance, its the London Eye. I'll be visiting you soon. Wait for me

The Royal Mews, what are they, i'm thinking its the horse says the guy wearing the blue polo. hehe

The grounds outside the palace

The Palace gates; its absolutely beautiful

Words really cannot describe how the Palace looks like. Everyone had an individual handheld device which acted as an audio tour for us around the palace. The use of cameras in the interior was forbidden for god knows why. My guess is there was just too many beautiful and magnificent items to take and people might not want to move on. So now all I got is a photographic memory of the interior of it. Unbelievable chandeliers, portraits of the past kings and queens beautifully hung on the walls, and lavish furniture filled up the Palace. From having its own grand hall, ball room (which had its own orchestra playing), west and east gallery, it was just unbelievably beautiful. But all the words in the world wouldn’t do justice to the palace. What I can say is if the chance presents itself, visit it, very very worth it. Outside was the garden where the queen had her garden parties.

The view of the palace from the gardens.

There I am, hahahha

The same garden which the queen holds her garden parties, hope i get an invitation. hahaha

The Royal Ice Cream, lets go...

Royalty runs in my blood now, hahaha, thanks to the royal ice cream. delicious

Ice cream, walk in the park and nice view, doesn't get any better does it

On the way back, we stopped by London Victoria station and took a walk inside.

London Victoria Station, busy place

The interior with all the trains

We were growing tired as the day went on, and it was only 4 in the afternoon. We headed back to the guest room for some rest. There, I had a chance to test the internet and it worked almost perfectly. Went out for dinner at a restaurant called ‘Seafresh’. It was a tradition that most british eat fish and chips on that day.
