Went to Hampton Court Palace today which is on the outskirts of London.
The train we took from Waterloo Station wasn’t crowded at all until after about
four stops at Clapham Junction at which point tourists descended on to the
train. To buy tickets it seemed ironic that it was quicker to pay cash then to
prepay. It was expensive, 25 pounds for us to get in but there was lots to see
and they had a lot of re-enactors engaging people.
Here kids are helping to decorate a cake for King Henry. It was a very
good day and well worth it.
We explored the elaborate gardens that included the Great Vine, planted in 1768 and is the largest vine in the world. Just imagine, Captain Cook had not yet arrived in Australia.
It's a big vine!
