Hampton Court Palace

Hampton Court Palace has been on my list of tourist attractions to see and last weekend we went with Colin and Ruth. We caught the train and made it there late morning. We went through the kitchens, which were pretty interesting in terms of seeing how the royals would've been served in the 1500's, went through Henry VIII apartments, the tennis courts and Baroque palace. Quite a lot to see but of course we made time to find our way through the maze. Here's Nick and Ruth in the middle...

Then, we caught the boat back up the river to Westminster. It took us about two and a half hours and can sometimes take up to five (!!) and it was a nice thing to do as you get to see how people live around and use the Thames.
