Forgot the names of other animals which are not captioned. Next our original plan was to hit on Peak district. But since we were running out of time, we planned to move to Cardiff.

London

Last September I came to UK for my higher studies. From then I wanted to go to London and now I am here.

First we visited the Buckingham Palace. It is the official London residence of the Queen. When we came there early, they haven't opened it for public entry. So we don't wanted to wait there. We kept moving.
