| Big Ben and Parliment at sunset! |
| London Skyline |
| Red Building in the center is the original Scotland Yard! |
| This is the London Eye after we got off. We had to go a block away to get the full wheel. You ride in capsules and it takes 30 min. to make a full rotation. Definately worth the trip! |
| Westminister, Big Ben and the London Eye all in one shot!! |
| This is a very small portion of this park! I spent half a day wandering the rose gardens and taking pictures and could have spent at least one more! My favorite part of London! :-) |
| Sculpture of Peter Pan, based in the original story. If you look close you can see lots of pixies in the base. |
| This is a portion of the Italian Water Garden. Taken from a beautiful little garden house. |
| This is a only one of the many playscapes in the fabulous playground donated by Princess Diana! I wanted to stop and play!! |
| This is the elven oak. It is an old dead oak stump that someone carved and painted elves in. I thought it was sooo cute! I want on in my yard! ;-) |
| Kennsington Palace is in one corner of the park. I did a wonderful tour there based on the life of Queen Victoria. This is the sunken garden and a sculpture of Queen Victoria outside the palace. |
| Prince Albert Memorial and School |
| Even Royals at Kennsington Palace know to use John Deeres!!! |
| Outside the Dali Exhibit! What an "interesting" man he was!! |

| The Canada Gate!! |

| After 1.5 hours on a bus going the wrong way. 30 mins. in a Taxi and arriving 10 mins. late for the Theatre in the Park to see Love's Labour Lost. We left 30 mins. later because we didn't have our rain coats or an umbrella! |
