Last day in England for a while.... (23/8) Gaz and I had yet another lazy morning and the went to check Alexander Palace. It was a bit of a walk but worth it for the palace and the view. I have no idea what the Palace was built for or when it was built, but it was used around 1919 to house German prisoners. Now it has an ice rink in it for some reason. Here is a picture so that you can judge it for yourself.
Bloody big aerial on it, I'm not sure if it adds any value. The Palace was up on a bit of a hill thing so you can see out over most of Londinium. Cue pic of me and Gaz standing in front of the view.
Out to the right of us you can just make out some of the big buildings in London including the Shard (big ole guy, apparently tallest in Europe or some shit).
Then we headed back to Haydens flat and I repacked my bag after he went to work. I am typing this on the plane to Frankfurt which will be about part 4 (or part 5 if you count Auckland) of my journey. Seems like a hell of a lot longer than 3 weeks has passed. I am pretty ready to move on from London, I think if I were to live there then I wouldn't be getting bored but I think a week is enough for touristy stuff. Bring on zee Germans (and the Swiss).
P.S. wrote this a while ago but no internet until now, hence wacky dating.
