Later we took them by Parliament, into Trafalgar Square (complete with mandatory “Lion Photo”), through Chinatown, and stopping in SoHo for a pint and some people watching, before walking to Piccadilly Circus and giving them their introduction to The Underground.
Today we all traveled via coach out to the Kent countryside to visit Leeds Castle. On a spectacular clear day we toured the castle grounds and staterooms, watched a jousting exhibit, strolled through the formal gardens, and witnessed a bit of falconry. S&S also braved the hedge maze.
Home to several monarchs through the years it had a real castle “look” to it, mainly because of it’s location on an island. Unfortunately, it looses a bit of authenticity as the complex has been upgraded via private ownership. Don’t get me wrong… I enjoyed the day, but there was something about taking my picture standing on the 8th tee box of the castle’s golf course that tends to remove the medieval edge.
