A Visit with Liz?






On our way to Canada we had 24 hours in London. We made the most of it and headed straight to the Tube and got on the first train to Buckingham Palace to have tea with Liz. She was little busy so we just walked around her place. We got the last two minutes of the changing of the guard. We saw about 10 black bear hats from Canada walk by and then it was over.

Right after the tour of Liz's place we headed down to Big Ben and Kyla tried out a couple of telephone booths. We are standing around and I am taking this picture and some Russian guy comes up to me and tells me how to take this picture and that I have to have Big Ben in the background. It was a good suggestion but we are only out of Kazakhstan for 10 hours and I am still being bossed around by the Russians!!



We were getting pretty tired but we did manage to find one geo cache in London. This one was in a very busy intersection and it took us about 10 minutes to find and I am sure a few people thought we were pretty strange looking everywhere and under everything in this little square--but we were successfull. It was on the back side of this arrow sign--seems pretty obvious now. It was a magnetic key box so it just had notes in it--no prizes for the kids.
