Day 72 - End of the Road

Today starts off as a little bit of a weird day. This is the last day in Europe and somewhat brings the art and culture part of the trip to an end. Last chance to see the grand museums and buildings. Need to go out with a bit of a 'bang' after 10 weeks and too many museums, galleries, sites and buildings to count.

Fortunate enough to have some great weather so decided to head to Buckingham Palace. I always thought that the one changing of the guard I wanted to see, I wouldn't. After stumbling onto the changing of the guard in Monaco, Rome, Vatican etc. the guide book did mention that in winter, the changing of the guard is every other day. Thus it wasn't to be today but tomorrow - bummer.

Anyhow this is a shot of Buckingham Palace and relative to others ones that I've seen, not really all that impressive. It is kinda square and blockish and no real dome or anything to offset vertical and horizontal lines.



The fountain in front of it was interesting however.



While walking around the Palace, saw a couple of different official looking horses and carriages but had no idea of the significance of them
