London - Hyde Park

From London - Hyde...

The painters and painted the room yesterday so I thought it was high time to go exploring the local park once again but this time I had my camera fully charged.

I walked around Hyde park for 8 hours solid yesterday and I've officially got a blister on my big toe! It all started off with me chilling out, actually I went for abit of a sleep because I was extra sleepy. The weather was nice and I just propped my bag up and went for a snooze with all the other sleepers.



Then I went off to the Marble Arch, which was actually outside the park but really right beside it. The Marble Arch was the main entrance to the Buckingham Palace but extensions means that it was moved here. However I was here because gallows used to be located close by which executed many people between 1571 to 1759, though it just turned out to be a busy intersection. Theres abit of a read on one my pictures



Then there were heaps of statues around and a few gardens which had some very nice flowers and squirrels were floating about to, very cool creatures.



I went down to the iron dukes house to, didn't bother going inside but it lived up to it's name as being very un-inviting. The queens gates were worth a look and finally I went to Kensington castle, which wasn't all that exciting either. It did have some very cool gardens around it though.



Princess Dianna had a fountain in the park to and there was the center piece of the park the Serpentine, which is a big lakish like water feature. I popped into the Serpentine gallery as well which was real small but worth a little gander.



Everything is going real well, have myself a place to stay for at least the next two months in White Chapel, a bank account that works and my CV in with a number of places, so now all I'm doing is enjoying myself. Hope you are extra super.

Best wishes,

Jamie
