Off for an Adventure

Early May 6th Leslie and I were on a plane on our way to England. We were booked on a cruise (not just any cruise, but a Seabourn Cruise) leaving on May 11 from Lisbon, Spain.  We decided to go early and spend some time in Paris before heading to Lisbon.  We were met by a car at the airport when we landed in London at 9:00 AM.  We were booked on the Euro star to go to Paris in the afternoon.  We had enough time that our driver took us on a tour of London.  We happened to be in the front of Big Ben at 11:00 am.  It is also the changing of the guards.  Our driver stopped at the changing of the guards.  Leslie hopped out and took pictures while the driver and I drove around. 



                   Buckingham Palace at the changing of the guards.  What a great accident.

                A photo of the guards crossing the grounds.  This happens at 11:00 am every day.



                                   Big Ben ringing eleven times.  Such an amazing sound.
