7/25/11 London!

We woke up on the ferry at 4 am to prepare to get off at 5 am.  Breakfast was bread, Nutella, and juice.  We went to our hotel to check in and then headed to Hampton Court Palace, home of Henry VIII. On the way we saw this phone booth.

Henry VIII was a mean dude, but his palace was really pretty. First up was the maze.  It is the worlds oldest maze and even has a Guinness Book of World Records certificate to prove it.  Savannah and I paired up and made it to the middle.

The grounds were amazing!  I really liked the trees shaped like mushrooms.

The palace was beautiful.  We also went to Queen Mary's apartment.  Like all of the palaces we've seen, there are a lot of pretty chandelier and art too.

Next we went to Windsor Castle.  I was wondering if William and Kate might be there since their last name is Windsor and I'm a big fan of them.

We were supposed to see the inside, but there was a mix up with our reservations, so we didn't get to.  We were also going to go see the crown jewels, but he line was really long and we decided to go shopping instead.  While shopping we saw some more of these telephone booths which are cool.

I had hoped to meet up with Nacho and Simon today, but it didn't work out.  I can't wait to see them tomorrow!
