Alrighty first of all as amazing as today was I wish I could have been there for my lil bros 16th today! We did the whole tube/train combo again to Oxford then finally rode a double decker bus to our destination!!!! We arrived at Blenheim Palace got a tour, ate (had this yummy gooey chocolate muffin), wandered in the gardens, then wandered Oxford and the shops. Once we got home went to the London Hard Rock Cafe, and went to the vault which is like a mini music museum in the basement of the gift shop. It was cool, saw: elvis' coat, the harpsichord the Beatles used to record All You Need Is Love and another song, Gene Simmons guitar, one of Madonnas crazy outfits and much more stuff. Then just back to the flat to chill. Oh and I may or may not have sat on a hobos bed in a tunnel under the road :) Tomorrow will be so spectacular but im gonna keep what im seeing a secret until I blog haha
Steph and I were sooooo excited to be on the double decker today, good experience besides a lil mishap concerning a crazy british woman but thats a story for a different time.
This is the Blenheim Palace, well just a very small part of it. Another Palace that is currently occuppied and no pics in the tour were allowed so sorry.
By the gate to enter palace grounds
One of the few rooms you could photograph in the palace. The ceiling work throughout was fantastic.
One of the past duchesses did this artwork. The duchess before her was 6 foot and had a long neck just like me haha but it was a sad story because she was from NY really wealthy and engaged but it was arranged for her to marry the Duke. He was poor and wanted her money and her mother wanted her to have the grand title.
Just at the wonderful gardens :)
This guy had the weirdest white mohawk hahaha idk know if thats even what i should call it
Chair at the palace's cafe, dont ask why i felt the urge to take a pic of it.
Just part of a statue that I thought looked neat.
Steph, Dani, and I in the rose garden.
The peaceful cascades. Cascade is such a lovely word, I think americans should use it for more than just to name a flavor of gatorade or powerade...which ever it is hahaha
My reflection in the pond...not doin a peace sign btw its v for victory like Winston Churchill used to do and he was born in one of the rooms I saw in the palace today
This was the only flower like this that I saw on all of the massive grounds, and I plucked it. shh dont tell.
Us girls climbing trees in the Secret Garden.
Hahaha ya um me bein a total creeper in the Secret Garden
Blenheim Palace coat of arms?? Im not sure, just liked the pic
Cool entrance to a restaurant wall in Oxford.
