Today we went to Hampton Court Palace, and let me just say….I would hate living there. But let us rewind to the beginning of our journey. We left today at nine am, and took a tube to Waterloo station. We caught a train to the palace, and it was about thirty seven minutes of travel. I love train rides so much because I enjoy just sitting and listening to music. Earlier I fell down a rabbit hole of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez songs to each other, so I was listening to mostly that on the train. Anyways… we arrived and walked to the palace.
Upon arrival we walked down the drive way and there was a beautiful flower garden. The flowers had such bright colors to them, that they almost looked fake. When we got there we were given little audio guides and they were very helpful in learning. The chapel had the most beautiful architecture. The bean I think my favorite part of the tour was looking through the King’s apartment. When you first walk in there is a big room full of guns. It was said he would have forty plus guards in front of his bedroom. When walking in more there were three rooms with thrones that he would entertain guests in. The more we went in the more private the rooms got. I was really surprised when I saw his private bedroom was so small, compared to his “guest room”.
After leaving Molly and I sat on a bench in the garden. We sat there for a good twenty minutes before leaving for lunch.
We decided to look for lunch and found this one place down the way. I had a really tasty Chicken, roasted pepper, mozzerella panini. I also got it with the soup of the day and it was so delectable. What was funny is that Shawn and Courtneay walked in ten minutes after us, and said they loved this place for the exact sandwich I ordered. Then not even four minutes more of our group walked in, what a silly day. The train ride back was very warm, but not too terrible, and went straight to the room to take a nap. 10/1o day overall
