Tower of London:
It is where we see pieces of sparkling diamond and one of them is as big as an egg.

Musical - The Wizard of the Oz
25 May 2012
Before we went to London Palladium to watch a musical, we walked through the London Eye, Trafalgar Square and some interesting places:
Because it was extraordinary sunny, a lot of people on the street and the sightseeing boat was so full.
London Eye
(don't know where it is. If anyone knows, please tell me)
Admiralty Arch
Trafalgar Square
Finally, though with jet lag, we enjoyed the amazing musical - the Wizard of Oz.

OXO Tower
25 May 2012
We had lunch at the 8th floor of OXO Tower where we could overlook the River Thames. It is also an example that old and new are mixed together quite well.
On the right side is the tower. There is an "OXO" on its wall which are windows.
A close-up from the restaurant.

Have a walk near Buckingham Palace
25 May 2012
A must for a tourist - have a walk near Buckingham Palace and see some royal things.
One of the coaches exhibited in the Royal Mew.
Something was setting up for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebration outside the Palace.
The Mall was decorated with flags.
Outside the Palace - no Changing the Guard ceremony but still a lot of tourists.
May be it was too hot, the horse and the guard seemed sleeping.
