On Friday morning we arrived at Westminster pier to board a boat to Hampton Court for the day. Upon arrival, I expected the boat ride to take longer than a train but thought max 2 hours. IT WAS A 4 HOUR BOAT RIDE. It takes 40 minutes on a train to get to Hampton Court. Sufficed to say, I was not pleased that I wasted half of my day on a old boat without snacks or entertainment. However, when we actually pulled up to Hampton Court (what felt like one year later) it was almost worth it. Hampton Court is beautiful!! It is a palace that is known for being one of King Henry VIII's main palaces, but other kings and queens have lived there too. We had a 2 hour tour around the castle where we saw the Kitchens, Chapel, Bed chambers, grand eating hall, and gardens. It was so fun and as a wannabe princess I was perfectly happy. We then got to take a train ride home which was SO NICE.
