Island One: Day Two

A Diamond Jubilee and the Olympic Summer Games.... and if that's not enough to keep you busy then ride the tube. London......... England, mid day arrival with lines at immigration that had me hearing my friend Marlena's voice asking 'just what is going on here'..... orderly and smooth flowing but long. At least our luggage was on the belt waiting. By 2pm I was sorted out and perched in what is the top of the house and the old servants quarters of a London brownstone in Kensington. Glad to get a room reasonably with the Jubilee in process. I am in direct line to the front gate of Kensington Palace in Kensington Gardens. A 237 acre expanse of flowering trees, shrubs and grassland.... all incredibly green. Check the link www.hrp.org.uk  and learn all about its history. Walk about the gardens and see the sunken pool and covered walkways. Princess Diana's dresses are also on view. In case you have been living in another universe that is also where Will and Kate will be living along with Harry and a lot of other people. Open to the public and just an amazing piece of history. Queen Victoria lived there as a child.
I am having challenges here and have lost this blog twice so I'm cutting it short. Fantastic lunch that I will share later....... Tomorrow... out of London and off west..... you'll never guess where it is an absolute treat...... . See you then.
