21st
of October
This
is the day when we'll go to London. We took the train at 10.30 in the
morning. The journey was nice and we saw the English landscape from
village to city. We arrived in London around lunch time. Jarno had
his luggage with him, because he would go home the day after. So, we
decided to find the hotel and drop our things. The hotel itself was
in a really nice neighbourhood, the colour was marble white and
looked really good on the inside as well. Our room was lovely as
well. We dropped our things, locked the door and went out. The hotel
was only half an hour away from Kensington Palace by metro. We also
picked up a small but lovely blueberry muffin. Before we entered
Kensington Palace we walked around the Kensington gardens, it’s so
beautiful. At the centre there is a pond called “The Square Pond”.
The pond was surrounded by ducks, geese and swans. The palace itself
was so beautiful, that I felt like a princess. Kensington palace was
the Royal home for nearly 300 years. The most notable royals to live
there would be Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. The ceilings in most
rooms were painted with different stories. There is a special room
for Victoria and Albert. Prince Albert made his own music, which I
didn't know of. It sounded pretty good. Now, Prince William and Kate
Middleton live in Kensington Palace, but not the museum part
obviously. After our visit to the palace, we went to the Underground
again to head to Black Friar’s stop. From where we walked to the
London Eye. The view is still beautiful. Doesn't matter how many
times you will go. And being in the Big Ben with your boyfriend sure
adds a lot of romance. Near the London Eye you can also find the Big
Ben, we walked around there for a bit and we headed back to
Westminster Station to head back to our hotel. We had a lovely shower
and watched "Back to the Future". And basically spent the
evening doing nothing. Tomorrow he will leave, and I will have to wait another month before I can see him again, it does make me sad.
