After 18 days away in the UK I am back in Gibraltar and I missed the sun, Nadia and Buttons.
Sorry that I could not write a lot about the day to day goings of my time in the UK but the Internet was not always available. So in this post I will wrap up the other week I was over there.
Anyway as the week progressed I had some days off as well as some afternoons off but the weather sometimes made it miserable. I met with my parents on one of my days off to spend the day with them and also to do a tourist thing for the day. We did a bit of walking instead of taking the bus or the underground as the weather was nice, although that was the last day of nice weather for a while.
We also visited the Royal Mews which is part of Buckingham Palace but you can visit it, this is the part of the palace where the stables are and where the royal cars and royal carriages are kept and maintained. The most impressive part of the tour was the golden carriage which in itself a statement of wealth and power.
We walked to the front entrance of Buckingham Palace to take a few photos and also to watch the London Marathon as the finish line was just opposite the palace. We also had a quick pub lunch with some ale to wash it down.
After this we went down the Cabinet War Room museum which was the underground base where the British government ran the country from during World War 2.
So the other thing I managed to sneak in was to catch a show and got tickets to se Les Miserables. The show was fantastic and I enjoyed it very much and I was lucky that we found some really good seats online and even had dinner included.
Anyway I am happy to be back in Gibraltar and the sun and heat is on and getting ready for the summer which I am looking forward to.
