My Euro Travel in Buckingham Palace in London, England

Let's visit this time the Buckingham Palace, the official residence of the British monarch in London, England. The palace is located in the City of Westminster. On the accession of Queen Victoria, it became the principal royal residence in 1837. The Changing of the Royal Guards has become the major tourist attraction in the palace. You can witness it daily during summer time and every other day during winter. During our visit last year in October, the Changing of the Royal Guards starts around 11:00 am. I suggest, you better go to the place earlier because there are really a lot of people going there just to witness it. Here is a photo I had from last year's visit to this palace.

I still wish to visit this place again during summer time!

My Euro Travel in Buckingham Palace in London

I am quite sleepy now. Before I bid goodbye, let me share first this photo that I had in Buckingham Palace in London. It's nice to see interesting and historical sights like this. I guess most of you know that Buckingham Palace is the official London residence of British monarch. This building is full of history and considered to be one of the tourists destination in London. I guess I am lucky to be there.

One more thing if you are planning to spend a stag party in London or any parts in UK, The Stag Company offers a huge selection of stag weekends and parties. Have fun!
Finally I want to tell you that a day or two is not enough to explore London. I guess even a week is also not enough. I still wish to visit this city again. Hopefully during the Olympics in 2012. I wish to give you more of my Euro adventure soon. Time to bid goodnight!

The Royal Guards Parade in Buckingham Palace in London

I finally witnessed the Royal Guards Parade in Buckingham Palace in London, England. This is also the time of the changing of the Royal Guards. My friend told me that it usually starts around 11:00 in the morning. We were almost as we went in Buckingham Palace because we also visited Kensington Palace where Queen Diana lived before she died. This is another dream come true! Have fun viewing all the pictures here!

The monument you see at the background is the Memorial of Queen Victoria in front of Buckingham Palace. These are the Royal Guards who had a parade and at the same time the changing of the Royal Guards. I can't imagine how many people visit this place everyday. Amazing!

Buckingham Palace in London, England

Have you been to Buckingham Palace in London, England? I thought I can just see Buckingham Palace in a picture but I was there last year. Thanks to a fried Dae Loy for touring me in England. I tell you guys going to UK is not a cheap trip. When you have to compare Sterling pounds compare to Euro currency, the first one has a higher value. As of today 1 sterling pound is 1.07956 Euros. I believed pounds currency is getting lower now. During my vacation in England last year, I used to exchange Euros to Sterling pounds. As far as I can remember 1 sterling pound was around 1.35 Euros that time.

I just want to give you some tip when exchanging money in England especially in London. Be careful with the Money changers because they are charging you some percentage for service charge when you exchange your money to pounds which I did not expected. As I asked how much they change for my 100 Euros, I only received around 65 Euros because they said they charged for extra service charge for each transaction. Let say 100 Euros converted to pounds if the conversion rate is 1.00 SP : 1.35 Euros..with my 100 Euros, I should received 74.07 sterling pounds. The lady in the counter did not mentioned that they are charging extra service charge. I did not expect it because everytime I change my money in the Postbank, they won't charge me for any extra service charge so I did not bother to ask the Money Changer. Oh well, at least I learned from that experience. Besides that I really need Pounds that time because I already run-out of it. I would suggest that you better change your money in the Postbank in England. I forget about conversion rate optimization at that time because I badly needed Sterling pounds currency.One of the gates in Buckingham Palace in London. photo taken by the author of this blog during her vacation in England last year.
