We started our thesis presentations today. Four people present each morning, and I got the unlucky draw of going at 7am on the last day, but oh well, I guess more time to prepare! I have put so much work into my project, I am sooo ready to be done.
We met back up as a group at 10am and then went to see Buckingham Palace and the changing of the guards. It was swarming with tourists though, making it not as much fun. Then we walked through Kensington Gardens up to the Palace to eat at the Orangery. We were going to order tea (which I STILL haven’t done) but the food looked better so I got the soup of the day and a cheese scone instead. I was a little disappointed in the palace and garden because I heard that they are really pretty, but I didn’t find it that great.Afterwards we went on a river cruise and then at night went and saw the play “39 Steps”. It was funny, but not as good as “Charlie’s Aunt”, which we saw in Manchester. The area we were in was really neat and makes me wish we were able to see other parts of the city more. When I get back from Italy and have one last day in London, I am definitely going to see Notting Hill, Kensington, and walk through Hyde Park as well as ride the London Eye. After the play, Clinton and I went to see Big Ben and Parliament at night, because we heard it was a must-see.
This is a magnificent picture of Big Ben. Thanks for sharing this.
