Europe Trip (London #3)

15th April 2011
On our last day in London, we went to visit Kensington Palace. The palace is another royal residence. All the important princes live here like Prince George and Prince Harry. Princess Diana used to live here too before she passed away. The palace is open for visitation. To find out more, click here [link]. It is a very relaxing place to be in. We had to walk a stretch of road so we did some shopping along the way.

Whole Food's Market. Kinda different from the markets in Malaysia.

Round Pond near the palace.
After that, we visited one of the filming locations of Harry Potter. Diagon Alley in the story is filmed in this place called Cecil Court. Felt so excited to visit! Its like visiting a magical world and reliving the story in real life. I could just imagine myself walking as a witch, searching for the best broom or an owl!

The National Gallery was our next and final destination! It is situated at the Trafalgar Square. The Gallery is an art gallery, currently housing thousands of paintings dating from mid-13th century to 1900. It has free admission. To find out more about the gallery, you may click here [link].

Near Covent Garden.
We went back to our hotel to take our luggage and headed to the airport for our flight back to Malaysia. Overall, this Europe trip gave me one of my best experiences and exposure to the world on the other side. Anything that I have read in books or watched on TV had came into reality in this trip. Indeed, I truly feel blessed to be able to visit these countries and I hope that in the future, I would have the chance to go back again. :)
