Standing in front of the pirate ship in Diana Memorial Playground
We managed to cram quite a lot into our day today. Considering how long it takes to get anywhere using the tube we did pretty well. The accommodation we're staying in is great but it's kind of out in the sticks at Excel and we have to get the DLR in to where we can get on the tube.
I googled "free things to do in London" and got a heap of things. One of them was the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace. We milled around the front gates for a while with the thousands of other people. The kids were able to sit down at the front of us and have a good view. We couldn't see anything inside the gates because of the crowds but two bands marched past and we got a good look at them.
Then we took a London cab to the Princess Diana Memorial Playground near Kensington Palace which the kids loved and so did the other thousand kids there. It was very crowded but we played for a while and then headed over to Covent Garden to find the Disney Shop to get our Eurodisney tickets for next week. Covent Garden was very exciting. I haven't been there before. Masses of people, fantastic street entertainers and lots of restaurants, shops and stuff going on.
Our day finished off with a movie at the Odeon in Shaftsbury Avenue. We watched the new Ice Age movie in 3D which everyone enjoyed.
