Takut gak kalau ada yang kata akak ni eksyen show gambar-gambar ni. Niat akak bukan camtu tau. Akak cuma nak jadikan kenangan peribadi dan untuk anak-anak baca mana tempat yang akak pergi.
Pelancung lain jalan punyalah laju nak ke sini, tapi akak dan suami jalan lenggang kangkung. Ramai betul pelancung dari negara lain yang sibuk gak nak bergambar cam akak.
Dari nak Wellington Arch ke Buckingham Palace taklah jauh sangat pun.
Bila sampai "guard change" dah bermula...alahai termiss lah pulak. Tak perlah, akhirnya tertunailah hasrat dihati dapat tenguk acara ini.
Masa kami sampai guard telah pun masuk ke dalam perkarangan Buckingham Palace..tak sempat nak tenguk...cuma dapat tenguk dari luar sahaja. Punyalah payah nak ambil gambar sebab ramai orang. Cuma dapat dengar ajerlah muzik yang di mainkan. Kat pagar tengah ada polis berkuda jaga..janganlah nak pandai-pandai duk kat situ. Kena marah dek polis yang garang.
Paksa hb akak ambil gambar kenangan..pandai pun abang ambil gambar ni..
bila hb dah ambil kena puji sikit hb akak tu..
Dek sebab nak sangat ambil gambar kat dalam perkarangan istana..akak pura-pura melintas sambil tu ambil gambar..akhirnya dapat gak ambik gambar kat dalam tu.
Sesak sungguh kat depan gate istana, akak ajak suami gi kat Victora Memorial..gambar ni bukan hb ambil tapi akak suruh orang Itali tolong ambilkan.
Akak suruh ajer hb duk kat Victora Memorial

Setelah puas menunggu akhirnya tiba masa guards keluar dari pekarangan istana. Mula-mula guard yang naik kuda
Lepas tu yang jalan kaki
