oh happy day, the sun finally came out on this, our fifth day in London. And it does make a difference, especially after so many gloomy overcast days. We took full advantage of the moment by walking to nearby Kew Gardens, which was full of sweeping green lawns, ancient trees with yellow and red and orange leaves, the occasional sculpture, pagoda with ornamental animals, squirrel, Egyptian geese, and whatnot.
We walked through Temperance House, a glass building that resembles the Palm House, with big leafed palm trees inside, the Japanese garden, the Chinese gardens.No visit is complete without a stop at the gift shop, especially when your friend can share her 20 percent discount! We also picked up sandwiches at the Kew greenhouse cafe and ate them on park benches in the gardens.
