Royalty

When you think about London you think about the royal family. The queen, the past queens, the past kings and of course Kate Middleton.

Today I had the pleasure of seeing the changing of the Guards at Buckingham Palace. There had to have been about a million people or more. There were so many people I could not even walk. It was suffocating. I finally got to a spot where I could kind of see. Thank god for the go pro stick, I was able to get some good video of it since I wasn’t able to see it. I also had the chance to tour the palace. It was the opening day of the exhibit for the season and the last available spot was for 5pm and I jumped on it. How could I come to London and not see the Buckingham Palace.

Wow. Let me tell you this is everyone dream house. Everything had gold Goulding on it and the chandeliers were on another level of elegant. The entire palace was just exquisite, even the gardens. They were literally as if they were scenes out of a movie or a picture.

Before the Buckingham Palace I went to visit the Kensington Palace which is also a part of the many estates the royal family possess. Shoot I would be fine with just one palace but what I could do with multiple.

Kensington palace was amazing. Smaller but still an amazing estate. The garden was beautiful. It was a peaceful place that was open to the public. Greatly used by the Londoners as well as the tourists, the Kensington Palace was a very well rounded and well used place.

It is great that even though the palaces are for the Royal family and their affairs, the public is able to view and be a part of their world a little. I have to think of things in the perspective of their royalty being equivalent to our presidents. I personally have never been in the White House but I know it would be amazing and really awesome if I did get the chance.

The history of England is great and very interesting however, the buildings were mesmerizing. The architecture and the detail that has been put into these rooms of these buildings is unreal. I always wonder how long it took to create.

I had a quiet evening since I have a big day tomorrow. Stonehenge was my next excursion.
