Today was good. I got up before my alarm which was nice since I got plenty of sleep. At 10 though I went to Buckingham Palace to see the changing of the guards! Getting there went pretty well though took a bit of time since it was so busy. Once there, I found a spot close to the main gate. While waiting I met a nice couple (I believe they said from South Africa) and they were really sweet. They were both a bit taller than me and when people were moving around to get a better view of inside the gates they said oh come over this way you can see better. They were so nice and I was so happy I met them. Although I could barely see anything happening within the gate, I did get to see the parade of people passing by. The part I found pretty surprising was the Irish Guard had an Irish Wolfhound with them which was kind of funny. The police were really funny keeping the crowds under control, one was very witty dealing with one person and another time the woman caught a young adult who went outside the barrier to get ahead and scolded him. It was funny.

Once the changing of the guard was over I had lunch and then met up with a couple of people to go to the Science Museum. It was pretty cool, though my favorite part was an interactive area (mainly aimed at kids). It was really fun because we like built a bridge and did all sorts of fun stuff. We spent some time in the gift shop and ended up waiting for the Science Museum group to finish and returned to Nido with them on the very very crowded Tube. After being back at Nido I got some dinner then relaxed for the night.
