Tuesday I visited Hyde Park, Kensington Palace, and had tea at The Orangery. Hyde Park was a beautiful, sprawling garden that is the setting and inspiration for some of the scenes in Peter Pan. I made a pilgrimage to the statue of Peter that lives in Hyde Park. After that I toured Kensington Palace. Although Tuesday happened to be the 1st birthday of Prince George, no royalty was spotted at Kensington. Afterwards, I had tea at The Orangery with my group. It reminded me of my wonderful Godmother, Midge because she took me to tea at the Plaza Hotel in New York. It was a very classy affair indeed.
Wednesday I toured the HARRY POTTER STUDIOS! It was an absolutely amazing experience. Warner Brothers essentially created a museum of the creation of the movie productions. I saw original plans, drawings, sets, props, and I even got to fly on a broom! And drank Butterbeer! I was worried it could be terrible but it was actually pretty darn good. Overall I was very satisfied with the Harry Potter studios and would highly recommend it to any fan of the books or movies.

Today I went to the British Museum, the highlight of which was seeing the Rosetta Stone. I rode the London Eye- it was raining but we still have striking views. Finally, I saw Antony and Cleopatra at the Globe Theatre which was also amazing! I'd say more, but I must be up bright and early tomorrow morning because I'm going to Dublin for the weekend. Cheerio!
