I had heard from a few people that they did not like this walk very much. But, I was very surprised after going on the walk to hear that. I enjoyed it quite a bit. It wasn't the most exciting, but it was fun to just relax and enjoy 3 beautiful parks that London has to offer us. It did seem long at times, but the views were wonderful.
When we passed Buckingham Palace time was definitely on our side, because they were just doing the changing of the guard. It was neat to see that, and it definitely wasn't as busy since we were there on a Tuesday afternoon. I had missed the changing of the guard when we went with our class, so it was neat to see. I think I might try to go back and get closer for all the festivities.
One of my favorite parts of the walk was walking through Hyde park along the Serpentine. It was beautiful and I loved all the birds as long as they didn't try to fly over me! Haha. I did not want a repeat of the traumatic experience that happened to me last Sunday. I want to go back to the Serpentine and try renting one of those boats to ride around on the lake. We also made sure we went past the Peter Pan statue. There was a wreath that someone had made with a poem for their little girl that had died. It was heartbreaking to read it, but neat to make the memory of seeing that statue more prominent in my mind.
I enjoyed learning about how St. James' park was once a Zoo and they had Elephants. That seems like a crazy animal to have here in cloudy London.
By the end of the walk I was ready to be home, even though I enjoyed the walk quite a bit.
