Greenwich
Today I did a lot of walking.
First I went to see the changing of the guard at buckingham palace. Its not particularly impressive, a brass band comes, some people yell, you cant see much etc. They close down streets for this, the amazing part is they do it every day.
Then I rode on a ferry to Greenwich, where time itself was created, you have to hike up a large hill and theres astronomy and clock displays. The view is very good, and its all free. The ferry however costs an absolute fortune, take the train if you ever go.
Bonus shot of the outside of my hotel.
The more impressive guards, on horseback with armour, with a police escort, guards for the guards.
Machine gun guard, the worlds most boring job, I kicked him because ive seen in movies they arent supposed to flinch, but he chased me!
Buckingham palace, surprisingly dissapointing, there are many more impressive buildings which are just shops or houses in the city.
Fancy gates<
A million people waiting for a brass band.
The band.
The guard, they surprisingly werent particularly well drilled, the size difference between the men and women probably makes it difficult.
We are everywhere.
The ferry is so slow, I started being stupid.
Both hands point to the idiot.
The view from greenwich.
