True European Telephone Booths |
Loving London!!! I was slightly grumpy since my flat iron got too hot to actually use this morning... So Elyse went with the all-natural look today, which just should not happen!!! Continued our speedy tour of London this morning at 8:30am... saw where the insporation for Diagon Allley in Harry Poyyer came from, saw a few other places from movies as well as went to the little farmers market type thing... there are tones of amaxing shops there with anything from scarves and shirts to ice cream and olives...

We then took the tube to Hamptons Court Palace and Gardens... It is Beautiful!!! Viewed the gardens first... Walked around taking pictures, being a total tourist today... the trees reminded me of huge mushrooms and the bushes of giant candy kisses!!! we took the kings tour and had a guard (actor) take us around Henry VIII's apartment where we ended up getting spit up boys went and saw the king first, girls went to be ladies in waiting with the "new queen" and told us stories of her life before marriage... I was highly entertained by the actors and there costumes... The place was amazing... In most rooms it had like one piece of furniture in the the middle of it... the wall decor and/or color was extremely drastic... some rooms had murals painted on every wall including the high ceiling... there were large court yards with fountains, a chapel, multiple apartments for different people, large courtyards in the middle and you cant forget the 100 (exaggeration) different gift shops...

| Italiano Ristarante Zizzi |
Hamptons Court is a beautiful little town with tiny shops along the road and an extremely busy street running right through the middle of it... I toured it with Changmok and then met up with Danny, Mary and Jessica for a late lunch at an Italian Restaurant called Zizzi... It had some of the best bread i have ever had in my life!!!!
Changmok and I were separated from the group again on our way back... but the train had like no one on it so we had a short nap and some how managed to get back to our flat :)
~Love Traveling~
