I was told that visiting Buckingham Palace was "overrated". BUT I decided I would make that decision on my own!
After seeing the sights from the Tower Bridge, we traveled back on the Tube to Victoria Station and went on our quest to "find the queen"! Since Mark was no longer our guide, it was up to Mike to get us to Buckingham Palace....thank goodness Mike Googled it before he left , AND he has a photo memory...he took us right to it.
Frommer's travel guide was right, it was overrated, BUT nonetheless, fun to see and the granduer of it all was exciting.... speaking for myself, that is! I was quite shocked that we could get as close to the gates and palace as we could. If you go to see the White House in DC....bring your binocculars.....you won't get near as close! But, I am sure the Queen was tucked safely and securely deep within the walls of the palace.
