Kew Gardens SUPER picture heavy.

So, I'm back at the Library, still Tablet-less. Its in at a Samsung fixit store, so hopefully something can be done sooner rather than later! I've found I can get the 10.1 Samsung Tab for £229 though, so its not too bad if I do have to get a new one...

Anyway, last weekend, I went to Kew Gardens. I'm glad I went when I did because I had a stunning day while I was there, and had a really good poke around and stuff. It was ace. There isn't a lot you can really SAY about this place, just look at pictures. So I've included a whole bunch of pictures for your enjoyment. I'm lovely like that :D.

When I got there first up, I went on this carriage thing around the gardens (cos they are MASSIVE!) and I got off at Kew Palace firstly to poke around there. Its quaint. I wanted to find the kitchens and stuff, but couldn't figure out where they were. Anyway, photos from the palace-y bit.

I want this bed!

At Kew, it seemed their "theme" thing for the past summer was food you can eat from trees. DADAAAA FEJOIAS!!

 And a whole bunch of other things, which turned out to be HUGE!!

And then I found the Palm House. MAN, it was hot in there, but there were some cool plants, like cocoa trees, rubber trees, coffee trees, Papaya trees!!

It was all very exciting.

Now, just some generic pretty plant pictures. I took a few....

Ironic....the best picture I take of Cabbage Trees.....is in London...

And generic pretty Kew Gardens Landscape pictures

The Palm House, it was like SUPER hot!

 

I'm so tall!

This is looking across the Thames to some Duke's house, but its pretty!

 

And then, there was this pineapple thing. I didn't really get it, but they had rigged it up so you could touch the leaves and depending on what leaf you touched it played a different sound. It was reaaally cool. See a video!

VIDEO TO COME!!!

Annnnd yeah. It was a fun day. I spent like 5 hours there, wandering around etc. Had fun. Very tired by the end of the day. Man, this was long. I have to run home now to catch the America's Cup Race 5 (delayed coverage, but better than nothing!!) so I'll try to update more tonight!

Catchyas!
