Day 13: all of London

today woke up earlyish and tried to make the 10am changing of the guard.. it wasn’t the big one with music and whatnot, but just the regular shift change.. started to pour rain again.. so I jumped on the tour bus and got around to all the sights.. couldn’t take very good photos because the rain on the window.. but there’s a couple spots I am going to try revisiting this afternoon.. the rain seems to be clearing off and I actually saw the sun for about 20 seconds!!!!

went to the tower of london and happened to be there as the regent or something like that of the tower was retiring.. will have to go find out who exactly he was later.. but they had this big ceremony in the downpour with all these guards and officials and whatnot. verry fancy, verry wet.

Up to camden market, back down to big ben etc., then tate modern art museum which was great, free, and open late!
