We've been back in London today, checking out some of the more interesting bits. First up, there was the changing of the guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace.
This was really busy, but if nothing else we got a feel for the pomp and ceremony involved, not to mention the sheer interest in the royal family.
After enjoying the first of our packed lunches on a sunny lawn, we proceeded back to the coach, to be given a tour of some of London's sights. These included the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben.
We also drove down Whitehall, passing Downing Street, the official residence of the Prime Minister and Trafalgar Square.
This brought us to our next destination, the Science Museum.
Someone called it "like Heureka". I beg to differ; Heureka is a completely different size class. We were there for three hours and barely scratched the surface. Amazing.
Returning to Abingdon was plagued by traffic, as was the morning journey; still, the children all apparently had no issues with their hosts or finding their way to the bus stop almost on time...
Tomorrow, it's the Black Country museum near Birmingham (so going north) before returning to London on Wednesday.
