Spring Break Day #2

Katherine and I had another jam-packed day today! We're both exhausted and getting ready for Wales tomorrow, but here's a brief re-cap of the day:

We woke up and ate breakfast out of a houseboat on the canal at Little Venice. Very cute! Then, we walked to Paddington and went on the tube to Green Park. It was covered in daffodils - absolutely gorgeous. Then, we saw Buckingham Palace, but unfortunately no horse guard or changing of the guard. Next was Hyde Park (also covered in daffodils) where we saw Speaker's Corner, the Peter Pan statue, Princess Diana's children's playground, and the Prince Albert Memorial. We also saw lots of rollerbladers doing amazing tricks and people boating on the Serpentine water. All of it was super fun and beautiful. Next we went to Harrod's and didn't get past much beyond the enormous food court/grocery store. We did get free perfume samples, which was nice. Harrod's is incredible. After that was a trip to the Victoria & Albert museum. We saw fashion, jewelry, art, and a very cool theatre/production exhibit. Shakespeare's First Folio was there!! Next, we went back to Piccadilly Circus for dinner at a Mexican place where our food came extremely quickly (before we even got our drinks) and to see Duplicity at the movie theatre. It was a fun movie, for sure.

Now, we just finished planning our day in Cardiff tomorrow. It should be fun!
