Buckingham Palace then departure, our London stay has concluded

Buckingham Palace changing of the guard was a bit overrated and we spent most of the time people watching instead of guard watching.  There was a police lady on a horse yelling at anyone who stopped walking, I think you had to be there.  After about 1.5 hrs of watching the guard march around we decided we have had enough and headed back to the hotel to get our bags and a cab to the train station for the London Express to Heathrow.  It was sad saying bye to Em because I felt like we just go there.  I had so much fun with her and Ad it was the best way to see London for the first time. 

At Heathrow Ad and I were at different terminals so we split ways.  My traveling party of 2 just shrunk to a lonely 1.  I hope he made it home ok but I don’t know yet.  I am sure he will email me.  My flights then began…good times.  After finding out that my flight would be from gate 7 I sat down to do some reading because I had an hour and a half till boarding.  I needed a break from reading so I checked the flight board, now my flight was out of gate nine.  Ok I moved to the new gate.  Then right before boarding they decided to board from gate 12 so I made the 10-minute walk there.  I got on the flight for a quick trip to Amsterdam where I met up with the rest of the Mizzou kids.  It made me feel better that I was traveling with other people who had no idea what was going on in the different airports. 

Next stop after an 8 hr flight, Nairobi.
