(Royal Albert Hall)On Monday, we went for a bike tour of the city. Such an awesome way to see the city, and your feet don't hurt at the end of the day!
Our tour took us through all of the gorgeous royal parks. Fun fact: Did you know it is illegal to kill a swan in England? They are all owned by the queen!
I could spend so much time just walking around those parks! Can't wait to go back and have a picnic!

(Hyde Park Corner)While riding over to Buckingham Palace, we saw a motorcade approaching. We got a look at the car right next to us and it was actually the queen!! How cool is that? I was pretty excited about it. If you blow up the picture below and zoom in you can see her silhouette. It's a little like digging for buried treasure, so you'd better give it a shot.
We were a little disappointed that they didn't have the traditional palace guards in front of Buckingham. They just had soldiers there in normal uniforms.... sigh...
We saw pretty much everything there was to see in London on our bikes including (but not limited to) Hyde Park Corner, Westminster Abbey, Parliament (and heard some DISGUSTING torture stories here), Princess Di Memorial, Trafalgar Square, and The National Gallery. Such an exhausting, but fun day!!

Who is that man-child in the brown hoodie tossing those leaves in the air?
