Hard Rock Calling

It's long past time that I should tell you about the rest of my London trip, so here it goes...

The day after Wimbledon, the Halleys and I woke up to go see a few sights around London, so we started walking. We walked across Hyde Park over into St James Park and all the way down to Buckingham Palace. Iggy really wanted to see the Changing of the Guards, so we hung around the park until it was time. It was kinda cool to see the different guard division gather in the courtyard in front of the palace for the ceremony, but aside from the James Bond music the band played at the end, it wasn't worth waiting around as long as we did (about an hour).

After that we went looking for Abbey Road and realized we were in the wrong place entirely, so instead we went to see Westminister Abbey and Big Ben. We hung out next to Big Ben and the London Eye for a while before heading back for the concert that afternoon. We did Abbey Road the next morning, and the day after that I road the London Eye before coming home.

That concert was simply amazing. All the performers were amazing, particularly the headliners: Eric Clapton and the Police. We drank beer the whole time and laughed at other people who couldn't hold their alcohol. The only way to show describe it that I have is to show you the videos, most of which have finally been uploaded (thanks to Youtube for being incredibly slow about it lately). Without further ado, here are my videos from the Hard Rock Calling in London Hyde. Enjoy!
