Peter and I visited St. Paul's Cathedral. Apparently its the 2nd biggest domed cathedral only behind St. Peter's in Rome. That was fun and educational. After we were done seeing that Peter decided he wanted to go see Buckingham Palace, so you know, why not?
Well Peter and I are bad judges of distance, because we could see the London Eye and some parts of Parilment where we were and we decided we could walk there. So we walked a good long hearty walk, and we get there and see Big Ben and the other features in Westminster.
But there is no Buckingham Palace. So we need to find it. We figure its somewhere along the Thames so we keep walking, and walking, and walking until we get to a poimt where if its further than this we don't care anymore. That is to say we were a far ways out there, I think we were on the eastern edge of Chelsea. So semi-defeated we begin the long journey back and hope to find a subway, because even though they are expensive we were still a ways out. We hop on the tube and head back.
On the way back we stop in a little bodega and get some gatorade and other crap and Peter is getting ready to pay for it. He has his credit card there so when he reaches for it and takes it out some man accuses him of shoplifting and begins patting him down and pointing at him! It was really funny and I guess the man was the store owners elderly father. We have a laugh and pat Peter's belly to explain he has a money belt. Things were ok after that.
One little caveat. Peter and I didn't have a map of the area. Peter figured he knew where it was, well he didn't.
One other thing, dam near everything in England has mayo on it, gross.
In two days, we've learned the same lesson twice. Always bring a map!

Hey bro's..... Take a look at a map (dont get fooled into buying one though from some peddler for $20).
Did you find it, but if you look bro it is definitely not where you were looking for it at bro.
It is on a round a bout, by St. James park, either take the tube to Victoria (north), St. James Park (West) or Hyde Park (East) tube stop and you are in the area.
Take care and man I love London and wish that I was there with you. I would say yes a map would be sweet....but either way with a map or no map if you dont have any sense of direction a map is not going to help you. You will just look like you know what you are doing :oP
Enjoy and I will be looking for any other updates you have and if I can be of any help let me know.
