It was 10 am when we arrived in London the next day. It was almost noon after we arrived at our hotel. We were so thankful that they had a room available for us early because we were so tired and took a nap for most of the afternoon. That evening, we walked to Hyde Park, then Kensington Palace and the Orangery at Kensington Gardens. We didn't get to go inside the Palace as it was closing but we got to have high tea at the Orangery (tea, scones, clotted cream, tea sandwiches, and orange cake - YUM!). Then we had our first experience on the tube (London's subway), and went souvenir shopping at Harrod's (a massive department store).
