So London Part 2...So last post my intentions for the next day were to get up early & get to Buckingham Palace early for the changing of the guard. We slept in & that didn't happen, but I can say happily that we did go this morning & it was entertaining as hell to watch!
There were far more people around than I expected for something that happens every second day, so it was kind of hard to get a good spot. But we did get to check out the big black hats & horses & guns & stuff...but the brass band played Abba...which confused the hell out of us!
We did check out all the squares & stuff, and that was cool, just more London business, but nothing overwhelming I think, but cool places to check out. 3 Seville row though was a different story. The street hasn't changed since The Beatles had their rooftop concert. The door, just like Abbey Road is written all over & people have carved their names into it, but apart from the cars parked in the street, it was a timewarp!
The other night we also went out for a few drinks. We found a real cool bar to start with that was playing Hendrix and Led Zeppelin, but their stock cheap beer was Fosters... so after 1 we moved on, wanted to check out a band. We then went to Posters, which is a live music venue on Kilburn Rd, just around the corner. It was real cool actually, because the first band we caught the end of were real brit pop rock like, and that was something fun to see. The next however were actually from New York, Hank & Cupcakes. They were different & fun! Loved them. Check them out definitely.
Other than that we have had to give in to the weather & buy a brolley! we walked through Hyde Park this morning in the rain & went to check out Royal Albert Hall. Cannot wait to get inside & see Opeth next week. I am sooo looking forward to it.
We have also attempted to shop for something for Benny's Birthday along Oxford Street...we will find something soon.
The Tower Bridge was astounding & London bridge not so! haha.
Oh & I have been real tempted to take photos of all the street signs/stations etc & make our own monopoly board...Haven't done so, and probably wont. But Maccas are rubbing it in with the Monopoly Promotion! Oh we had the greatest Big Mac EVER yesterday, and yes I am willing to make the call.. and I know, eating Maccas, but I f all victim to the promotion. I love it!
Anyway thats it for now. We are moving further out of the city in a few days, then pick up the car.
Massively looking forward to the th April which is set to be Stonehenge, Avebury, Silbury Hill, then Opeth at Royal Albert Hall! MASSIVE!
Anyways, take care! love you all
