So this is our last day in London! We wanted to make it a day to do the things we still haven't gotten to do. We went and got a quick breakfast at our favorite, Gardiner's. Then we headed to Buckingham to see the Changing of the Guard, which started at 11:30. Now, lesson learned: if you want to see the Changing, don't go 15 minutes before it starts. By the time we got there, there was a mob of people there and it was nearly impossible to see anything. Still, it was nice to hear and see what we could. Then we walked down towards the London Eye. On the way, we did some shopping and stopped to eat a nice lunch at an Italian restaurant right outside Trafalgar Square. I forgot the name of it, I think it started with an R. We then walked down to the Eye and got in line to buy tickets. After standing in line for about 5 or 10 minutes, someone failed to tell us that we were in the wrong line and then redirected about 150 people into the line we were supposed to be in. So we scrapped that idea because we would have been in line for 2 hours. Instead, we admired it up close and then went to Soho to say goodbye to the wonderful gelato flower from Amorino. We headed back to the flat, did some packing, and ate our last English pub dinner at Coborn Arms, and hit the sack. Paris is in the morning!
