Kensington Gardens and Wanderings

After a rest in the room, we ventured out to Kensington Gardens to see the Princess Diana memorials and sights.  The memorial garden is a child's playground and you have to have a child to enter, so we left that area.  Then we wandered over to Round Pond to see the birds, swans, geese and seagulls aplenty.

Then we wandered over to Kensington Palace which initially was underwhelming, we did not feel the entry price of 24 pound was justified so just looked from outside.  Then we found the front entry where there are tributes and memorials to Diana strewn about the main gate.

From there we wandered through the gardens which to be honest by comparison to say Tokyo gardens or even some of the Australian garden parks was ho-hum.

Except for the immediate area around the Round Pond where the wildlife is, everywhere else is an off leash area for dogs.  So long as they come when called and you keep them in sight they can wander to their heart's content.  Most running around with their owners playing fetch or chasing each other.

After a brief bench rest, we wandered out of the gardens for a stroll around the suburbs and back to the hotel for a rest.

We then went out for dinner at an awesome Italian restaurant where the food is all hand selected or grown or made including the beverages.  Then back to the room for a well deserved sleep.
