May 19
Sorry for not writing anything yesterday, and sorry for no pictures. The internet here isn't great so I'm writing this on my phone and don't have pictures. I'm also going to rush my post a tad and just list what we've done. So yesterday we arrived, signed in, and spent the day going to the London Eye and the Tower of London.

Today was busier. We watched the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, saw Big Ben, and went inside Westminster Abbey. We couldn't take pictures inside, but we were very excited to see the memorial stone to Lord and Lady Baden-Powell (we're a group who know each other from Guiding and Scouting, so they're fairly important to us!).
Finally, we managed to spend some time in the British Museum. We didn't see much, but we got the main things we wanted to see. The things I wanted to see the most were the Rosetta Stone, and the Parthenon Marbles. We visited those rooms, and rushed around to see some of the other highlights.
Tonight we had a meeting with our tour group. Tomorrow we're leaving bright and early. Hopefully I'll have a better internet connection!
