After several days of rain, we received a bright sunshiny day and endeavored to make the most of it. We started with a ride on a double-decker bus, walked along the river, and made our way to the London Eye.
The London Eye provided us with spectacular, crystal clear views of London and the surrounding areas.
We continued our walk so that we could see (and hear) Big Ben.
From Westminster, we took the tube to High Street Kensington.
We picked up picnic provisions and walked over to Kensington Palace Gardens to enjoy a picnic lunch whilst enjoying a view of the Round Pond.
After lunch, we visited the Palace itself which features exhibits on Queen Victoria's life at the palace and Princess Diana's dresses, as well as the royal apartments.
Exploring the gardens further, we visited the Princess Diana Playground, Walk, and Fountain, and raced around the fields.
Before heading back to our flat we stopped into Harrods where Ava was able to find Little Miss and Peppa Pig books.
We've spent our entire trip thus far within Tube/DLR distance but tomorrow we make the short train journey to Windsor to visit ... you guessed it ... Windsor Castle. Stay tuned.
