LONDON VISIT:5th AND FINAL PART













































BUCKINGHAM PALACE
Dear friends
What remains to be said? Ah! the Buckingham Palace indeed! We boarded another Big Bus which dropped us at the Buckingham Palace road. The English weather was playing true to form and now baring her fangs; a slow drizzle and an icy wind gripped us in a vice. Undaunted we made it to the Palace and we were amply rewarded by the splendid view we enjoyed. Somehow the statues in front of the Palace resemble those we are accustomed to see in front of the Victoria Memorial in Calcutta. It was beyond me to understand or try to understand the significance of the various statues we beheld and a computetr search done later wasn't of much help either.
