This was my truly full on tourist day in London. We go a pretty late start, around noon and started off in Hyde Park, which was packed due to the usual appearance of the sun. We strolled over to Buckingham Palace which was amazing, as expected. Of course my sister and I had to take a 20 minute picture session, but after that we walked the long stretch that you see the royals drive on to leave the palace to Trafalgar Square. Now I must not have the luck with these lions because this is the third time they were closed off when I tried to climb on them, however we took another quick photo session before we hopped back on the tube and made our way to the real fun, oxford street.
We did quite a bit of damage and stuck around for about 3 hours until we decided we need a break from all the "hard work" , we then went over to Thames and walked around a bit, again there were a ton of people out because it was such a gorgeous day. We hung at the rooftop bar overlooking the Thames taking advantage of the free WiFi. We soon met-up with a lovely family friend over at the Westfield Mall, and I know there are quite a few but this was the one near Shepherd's Bush. We ate a lovely restaurant called Fire and Stone and we had my favorite Pizza! Now if pizza doesn't tickle your fancy there were a ton of nice sit down restaurant's outside and a bunch of quick fast food places inside the mall. We had a lot of catching up to do, so we took our time with our lovely pizza, drinks and dessert before we headed off home.

Buckingham Palace... The Queen was in!

Big Ben lovely to see you again!
