Kew to Hammersmith



The Kew to Hammersmith was an interesting one. I had heard from quite a few people how long this walk was, so I wasn't looking forward to that. But, when we first got off the tube stop and walked around I was struck by how pretty everything was. it was a gorgeous day--blue skies and warm sun. The trees were all in blossum and it seemed like everyone was just in a greater mood. So, the start of our walk was great. Somewhere along the way we did get lost. I'm not really sure what happened, all I know is that we weren't on the same path that the walks book said we should be on. We stayed close to the Thames and witnessed some boat races going on and also a bunch of people on the banks prepping for some races. It was cool to see a different side of England, since it was more in the countryside. About halfway through we had a bathroom emergency, and yet we didn't find a bathroom until the end of the walk. Go figure.

Overall the walk was very beautiful and I enjoyed it... even with all the crazy detours and stress of trying to find a bathroom. Haha.
