Arriving in London, the Thames River and lots of rows of houses!
A golf course along the Thames
First stop, a visit to the Queen at Buckingham Palace
A female guard guarding the male guard!
The Union Jack above the palace means that Queen Elizabeth is home!
Seeing this always reminds me of the I Love Lucy episode where she is trying to make the guard laugh!

You can rent a bicycle in London - doesn't look like real popular option!
