London
It felt like we were just starting to see London but we already had to go. I had not even seen Buckingham Palace yet. As the hotel checkout time was 12 noon and Paris train ride was at 1 PM, we only had few hours to make a quick visit to some attractions near our hotel.
First, we watched the uneventful Changing of the Guards at Horse Guards Arch at 10 am. The one that takes place in Buckingham Palace is probably better.
Then, we went to Westminster Abbey, a Gothic monastery church that is the traditional place of coronation and burial site for English monarchs. It was closed on Sundays so we only saw the exterior.
And that was it. At 4 PM, we were back in Paris. And a few hours later, I had a 3-hour stopover in Seoul and some more hours later, I was back in Manila, 250K pesos poorer but very happy.
