London - day 2

Saturday: after 15 hours of sleep we awoke and walked to Buckingham Palace. We witnessed (along with thousands of others!) the 'changing of the guards'. Very very cool!! Looked like a marching band with horse guards at beginning and end. 

We met my mom & stepdad back at the hotel around noon and went to lunch at Cucina near out hotel. Delish food. Then headed to the Hard Rock Cafe through west minster and hide park near Buckingham palace and then to Harrods--the amazing department store that sells everything. Seriously everything! Afterwards we took a taxi back to our hotel and changed before our reservations at The Eye. We reserved a 'champagne tasting' experience at The Eye. It included 2 revolutions--so fun and amazing views! The champagne and 'nibbles' were yummy. Afterward we went to the 4d experience of the eye. Fun & informative. Later in the evening we had reservations at Locale for dinner. It was perfect and close to our hotel.
