Site seeing in London town with Rach and Jarrad!!

Ok so now i can get excited and tell the world cause they're home and all their family and friends know now............ Jarrad proposed to Rach in Paris!!!! Ooooooooooh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh soooooo exciting and so romantical!!!! And i was lucky enough to be the first of their friends to be told cause they wanted to tell everyone in person!! Luckyyyyyyyyyyy!!! Rach told me in the middle of some random street in London and i screamed and we hugged, it was VERY EXCITING!!! Ive had to keep it a secret for almost 2 weeks, ahhhh so excited that i can be excited with everyone else!!

So now down to the days events.. Rach and Jarrad are in London town for 2 days!!! The last time i saw them was in Ibiza and they were heading off to Paris and to see Europe!! I was soooooooooooooooo excited to see them!!
I was a bit of a tour guide today really (hehehehe!!!) we went for a massive walk around central London and i took them to all the touristy places that i had already been!

We started at Leicester Square then moved onto Trafalgar Square. Then walked through Marble Arch down to Buckingham Palace where there were crowds and crowds of people there. The whispers on the streets were that there were lots of people there because the Queen was home and people were hoping to get a glimpse of her! But we weren't so sure... Heres some of the crowds around the palace-

This carriage arrived with some official looking people in it but we werent sure who they were, none of the well known royals anyways!

The carriage went in and the Royal Guards came out of the palace gates!

We did hang around the palace for a fair while, me and Rach were secretly hoping we'd get to see the Queen, but no such luck!
We left Buckingham Palace and then went for a walk through St James Park and down to the horse guards. Here is Rach and then Jarrad with the Royal Guards!

And here is Rach with one of the horse guards!

Then we walked across the Westminster Bridge to Southbank where we had some lunch and checked out the buskers (who i loved so much last time i was there!!) Here is me and Rach with our favourite buskers!! Seemed appropriate seen as we were just at Buckingham Palace!
Here are some of the other cool buskers we saw (which were different to the ones i first saw!)

They were very cool!! Then we walked back over the Westminster Bridge and checked out Big Ben and Parliament. Here is a cool photo of both those buildings from Southbank near London Eye!


After that we checked out Westminster Abbey and then caught the tube to Picadilly Circus to check out the shopping!!! We walked up Regent Street and Oxford Street and bought some yummy yummy chocolate from Thorntons, mmmmmmmmmm best chocolate EVER!!! We spent a good few hours shopping and then it was time for Rach and Jarrad to head off to a family dinner and time for me to head home to meet Courts!

I got home and freshened up and we were out the door again to catch the tube to Heathrow to pick up Sara!! Sara is courts cousin's (on the other side of the family) girlfriend and she is an awesome chick and she's gonna be in London for 6 months!! We were very excited to see her and didnt get to sleep until the early hours of the morning because we had so much to chat about! We are all staying in Courts room at the moment so it was like a bit of a slumber party with the 3 of us!! Thats about all for now, catching with Rach and Jarrad again tomorrow to do some more sight seeing stuff so ill let you know how that goes!

Kelba xoxo
