Buckingham Palace

On our trip to London I finally got to see the Buckingham Palace (I had only been there as a kid, so it had been a while...). Here are a few impressions:


The road that leads to the palace is pretty impressive with all the flags and the crowns and the 1000 lines for the three cars that are driving around.


Next to the palace there was this huge gate that separated it from the park. I was quite impressed by it until I noticed that if you walked 10 more meters the wall actually stopped... (still, pretty amazing work!)


(Also the locking system was a little less intimidating after closer inspection:)


Flags and flags and such a beautiful day we had (I am actually pretty upset about that, because my friend is  getting a completely wrong impression of how much we had to suffer until the moment (literally) she arrived with the bad weather).


Definitely not a bad place to live in, but it must be weird that people are taking pictures of your home 24/7 (although you kind of have it coming if you move into something like that...)
