London, England - Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Westminster, House of Parliament

I have finally made it to England! The first day that we got here we took a walk through Hyde Park and stopped for a rest to watch a small music festival while we tried to catch up on how jetlegged we were feeling. 




After a quick break we went on a hop-on hop-off bus tour of the city of London where we saw lots of famous sites and beautiful buildings! Even though most of London looks very modern and high tech, we definitely felt like we stepped back in time as we saw so many historical buildings and places.

Outside the castle entrance. There was a big bike race happening that day. The exact route that the racers took was the same one that they used last year in the 2012 London Olympics.
Shout out to Canada!
