Hampton Court

Today Tanya, Aaron and I went to Hampton Court. It was a short 30 minute train ride from London Waterloo. It was amazing! The palace was huge and they had great gardens and ponds. here are some google images

We went through the Tudor kitchens and the wine cellar and then on to the state rooms. After going through the palace we headed out to the grounds and found a friendly swan in the pond. It came over to say hi to us and we started feeding it some cheese and onion potato chips. The crazy thing was that it would leap out of the water and take the chip right from our fingers. It was a little frightening at first to have a big bird come lunging at you out of the water, but we later realized that it was just going for the chip so our fingers were safe! After hanging out with the birds we headed to the hedge maze. Lots of fun. We made it out! Aaron and Tanya took all the pics. I'll get them online sometime. I do finally have some pics from London on my website. If you wanna check 'em out go to www.geocities.com/sarah_rennweg/LondonPics and click on the London link.
