London has so much to see and do, I don't think it is possible to write down everything I saw! When I first got there I visited Buckingham Palace and had a tour of the state rooms. It was pretty impressive, very grand, as you would expect. I went inside the room where the royal photos were taken after William and Kate's wedding, and where the photos were taken after the Queen's Coronation. The souvenir shop was full of baby George souvenirs. There is so much history in London, it makes me realise how young New Zealand is. I did a hop on hop off bus tour which took me around most of the sights. I went to a play in the west end called 'The Woman in Black' which was really good, and on my last day I took a bus tour out to Stonehenge. It was really interesting to learn about what they believe the history behind these standing stones are, and all the different theories. Every month the Sun shines through a different arch in the stones!
I am now in Italy, doing my busabout tour and am loving it. The weather is nice and hot here, and the food is awesome!
Hundreds of people outside Buckingham Palace

The Air Force Church, with damage from shrapnel from bombing in WWII I believe
The London Eye, Big Ben and the government buildings at night

Wesminster bridge, the government buildings and Big Ben... well Elizabeth Tower.
