European Vacation Day Seven

Day Seven, Jun 10th.
We awoke early to grab breakfast and get on the bus to head out to Windsor Castle.
We met up with our guide Pepe to get a tour the castle grounds once in the castle walls we had head set that told us about each room.
We quickly moved through the rooms so that we could catch the changing of the guard ceremony. After that we headed back to the shops to get lunch at the Cinnamon Cafe.
Our guide recommended the Jacketed Potatoes. Basically Baked potato with beacon and cheese. After lunch we made our way to the souvenir shops and then back to the bus and on into London to Buckingham Palace. We stopped for a few photos and then away to downtown where we got our first glimpse of St. Paul's Catherdral, Big Ben, Tower Bridge, London Eye, The Tower of London, the Shard and Temple Bar.
 
 
 
We got to spend some time around Trafalgar square and had dinner at The Silver Cross Pub. I had a Black Sheep Bitters before we headed down stairs for our fish and chips meal.We also rode on the tube once again and made it to the London Theater to see Wicked.
The play was well done and I am glad we got to go. We returned late that night after midnight on the tube. It was on our way back that Trevor informed us that the next morning was going to be the earliest yet due to the train schedule.
