We arrived in London by train from Oxford on Thursday morning, Oct. 12. After deciding that we didn't want to figure out the Tube while dealing with our luggage, we took a taxi to our hotel. We did buy our travel cards at the station so we were all set for tackling the underground later that night. This was our smallest room yet but worked for what we used it for. Our hotel was in the Kensington neighborhood and chosen to be convenient to the things we wanted to do in London. We unpacked and headed out for a walk in Kensington Gardens. It's beautiful and huge. We noticed the Albert Memorial and walked by Kensington Palace and the statue of Queen Victoria. If we hadn't had our fill of palaces already, we would be in the right place to see more. We kept walking and ended up at the Victoria and Albert Museum, which neither of us had seen before. It's an immense art museum with endless collections. A couple of things I liked were the room of tapestries
It's a good day when yarn comes in the mail....
