Hi all! This is Kara. Gayle has declared she's not blogging tonight and that we'll do a double post tomorrow. I thought I should at least give a quick update. We had a great day in London today - highlighted by getting to hear the Royal Guard band (the guys in the black Q-tip style hats) playing Copacabana and the Theme from Star Wars as warm ups at the Guard's Barracks just before the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. Great pictures and videos to follow eventually, but the connection isn't great tonight either so I'm not even going to try with those.
We also ate lunch at the original Hard Rock cafe and had a wonderful server and very good food. Walked through Hyde Park and Kensington Garden which was pretty, but a REALLY long walk on already tired feet so we were both pretty spent by the time we got to Kensington. Enjoyed the palace, although got a little bored with the audio guide in places. Left Kensington and endured the "Tube" again to go to Harrods. Had fun shopping in Harrods and buying souvenirs and a few gifts for you folks back in the states.
Came home and got a little turned around coming out of Waterloo station so just grabbed sandwiches and came back to the room to get through showers and a bit of planning for tomorrow. All in all a good day. We'll give you all a full update tomorrow.
