Kew Royal Botanical Gardens and the Eye of London!!

Our first stop today was the Kew Gardens! They were beautiful, but unfortunately, my camera battery died, so I only got a few pictures. I didn't realize how much I enjoyed botany until today! Obviously I love flowers, but these gardens were amazing. The entire garden was almost as big if not bigger than the zoo! Ethan said it was his favorite thing so far.



This peacock was just roaming free!!
I walked right up to him! 




Its a mini pineapple plant!!

This was by far my favorite part of the Kew Gardens;
the lilypad house! So many different kinds!








But sadly, that's where my camera died. It's really a shame, because there were so many cool and beautiful plants!

After that, we stopped at a small cafe and got sandwiches and chips for lunch. They were REALLY tasty and it was less than ten pounds! We stopped at our hotel to charge my camera and pick up our Eye of London tickets. After the Doctor Who Experience, the Eye of London was the thing I looked most forward to!


 No matter how many pictures and angles I show you, it STILL cannot impress upon you how gigantic this thing is!
waiting in the queue 

Look at the capsules!! They fit up to forty people.
The only scary thing is you load and unload while it's still moving!

at the very top of the eye!

Big Ben and Westminster Abbey

Ethan couldn't help himself. We traveled all the way to the north part of London to have dinner at Marsala Zone again! It was delicious as expected!

Tomorrow, we're going to Buckingham Palace!
