Buckingham Palace

This is me at Buckingham Palace. When you're in London you should always get a picture of Buckingham Palace. There were armed guards with automatic weapons out the front. It wasn't a very impressive building really.

The Parks

This is Ben in one of the many parks we walked through. This is Green Park which is right near Buckingham Palace. This is where we saw all the squirrels! We allso walked through Hyde Park, Kensington Park and St James Park. That's a lot of walking. The parks show classic European spring weather with bare trees and lots of daffodils and crocuses (bulb flowers). The parks are huge and a really nice relaxing place to be in the middle of such a huge city.

London

Ben was desperate to put in his squirrel pictures so I'll put in now that we have arrived in England!
Our plane flights over went well and even though we struggled with some jet lag we are really enjoying London. It is a fantastic city...really vibrant, cool and exciting! The weather has been great, blue skies and sunshine, but quite cold (about 5-10C).
We've done lots of sight-seeing already while organising all our Vet things. This is Big Ben in Westminster where we also saw Parliament House and Westminster Abbey. (If you double click on the photo you can see it full-size).
While we were there we organised our MRCVS which means we are now English Vets!

Eating

More squirrel action, this little guy was eating a peanut which he dug out of the ground before he was scared off by a dog

The Squirrels of Hyde Park, London.

This is a beautiful squirrel we saw in Green Park near Hyde Park in London. There are squirrels everywhere and they are super cool, cute and very fast moving. If you have seen the movie "Over the Hedge" they are just like that. I am very proud of this photo, it came out very well.
We spent this day looking at Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park, Green Park, Kensington Park and a few other things.
