[September 15] London: Duckies, Dears, & Darlings, But Mostly Hyde Park

Throughout the course of one of my classes, the professor referred to us as "duckies", "dears", and "darlings". Adorbs, right?

On Wednesday after 5 hours of class, a few other girls and I walked to Hyde Park from our dorm. It's a pretty big park...! We were only able to over park of it, from Alert Hall along The Serpentine to Hyde Park Corner. I will definitely have to spend another day there.

Good afternoon, Hyde Park! The entrance:


Royal Albert Hall. Name this song: "Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall..."
'A Day in the Life' by The Beatles! Did you get it right...

Prince Albert Memorial:









Hmm, a mysterious stump:

"Hey you guys I found THE rabbit hole!"

"And I can't see the bottom of it!"

"Okay, count of three and down I go..."

"Oh hi everyone! Bye everyone!"

Part of the Princess Diana Memorial. It was basically just a big circle with water running through it. It was pretty and I'm sure holds some kind of symbolism to it...




Me being unexplainably weird, as usual...

The six of us who explored the park together:


Just a pretty little waterfall in Hyde Park...


I saw this neat gate as we left Hyde Park:

The group split up and three of us ended our evening out by having 'dinner' at cremedelacrepe which was delicious but at the same time, not what I was expecting. It had more of a doughy taste than I expected and I should have gotten something more filling than cinnamon crumble and strawberries...
