We've been everywhere since the 19th! Yesterday saw Westminster Abbey, Jewel Tower, Big Ben/Houses of Parliament (listened to Big Ben chime 12 times at noon!), ate at Hard Rock Cafe, saw the Vault (museum, lots of Beatles stuff), bought t-shirt, did tour of inside Albert Hall (and saw Quincy Jones walking right near us coming in for rehearsal!), toured Kensington Palace and lastly went and scoped out Harrod's!! P.S. That Hampton Court pic is a panoramic photo, taken with my friend's iPhone.

Sounds like you're having a good time there!

Having a blast! Wrote a big post here and it logged me off and disappeared. Too tired to rewrite it.

This was what I posted: Yesterday saw the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace (gorgeous blue skies, sunny and high of 86!), Had lunch at the nearby Bag O'Nails (not the one where Paul met Linda - we saw that later) Then saw #3 Savile Row, which is now an Abercrombie Kids store so you can go inside to all the rooms! They have a Beatles display in the foyer too! Then also went to MPL, Trident Studios, and the Gentlemen's toilet on Broadwick where John was in "Not Only, But Also." Ended the evening with dinner at Bill Wyman's Sticky Fingers restaurant. They did have an alternate Abbey Road photo on the wall (walking the opposite direction) Today is a coach tour of London area. Probably some things will be a repeat for us, but we don't care!

Luckily I saved that post, because it logged me off again!! I was able to paste it and post it.

You should try and get to the British Library. I believe some of Paul and John's manuscripts and some memorabilia is there. I would double check first, though. I was there a few years ago and saw the handwritten Yesterday. It was unbelievable looking at that, housed in the same room with the Magna Carta!
-
We went there yesterday! I thought you could take photos, just with no flash, and I got busted right before I was going to take it by the guard! Of course he missed the teenager ahead of me who took a photo with her cellphone! Yes, there are handwritten lyrics by John, Paul, and an unreleased one by George. They also have headphones to pick from a list of about 12 of their songs to listen to, plus the 1963 Christmas record.
-
Also in the same room is the Codex Sinaiticus! (Google it!)

Basically the post was what we did on the 23rd: Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, lunch at the nearby Bag O'Nails (not the one Paul met Linda at - we saw that later!), MPL, Trident Studios (Hey Jude and others recorded there), the Gentlemen's toilet where John filmed "Not Only, But Also" playing a "Gentlemen's Gentleman" and had dinner at Bill Wyman's (Rolling Stones) restaurant Sticky Fingers.

What happened is I have tons of new pics, but I can't post any because I have no way to transfer them to my iPad because my SD card is too small for the transfer device I bought! In Liverpool as of the 25th.

Yes, but here are the details: The Beatles' first gig in 1962 after Pete Best was sacked and replaced by Ringo Starr, with the lineup that became world-famous took place at Hulme Hall in Port Sunlight, across the Mersey from Liverpool.
