We went and visited the Queen

Hi folks, a quick update to tell about our trip to Buckingham Palace last weekend. We have been to the palace a few times before (the official residence of the Queen) but you are not allowed inside. Apparently the State rooms are opened up for a few weeks every summer. This kind of event seems to be very popular with both the British and tourists because the place was absolutely packed. We were not allowed to take any photos inside - but needless to say the rooms were fairly decent. One thing that was kinda interesting was that the palace has taken many forms and was initially just a nice house called Buckingham House.

Other than that - generally staying out of trouble. Our next trip will be to Barcelona, Spain in a few weeks which will hopefully be a bit warmer as it is starting to cool off in the last week (not too bad though) - morgan
