Day 3 - The Big Walk


In the morning I woke up at 6am because I though it was 8am, and I woke up in the middle of the night because I thought it was morning.
After breakfast we went to Piccadilly Circus and we got there by a double decker bus (we went on the top) and the Tube, which is the underground railway. All the streets had buildings that didn’t have spaced to walk in and hey were very tall buildings.
We walked to Buckingham Palace and we saw a beautiful garden with pink and bright purple flowers in it. There was a fence around the garden. A giant fence that was gold and silver poles with statues at each end. They are five metres tall. They are amazing.
Then we had some lunch and we had an ice-cream. Then we went to the lake and we watched the birds.
Then we had little walk to Hyde Park and we saw a squirrel and it was holding some food with its front paws and nibbling the food. It moved so quickly that I thought there were two squirrels.

Hello everyone,

It certainly looks like you are enjoying your holiday.

Those squirrels in Hyde Park can pesky little animals. I had a nasty expeience with one when I was over then in 1999. I put a can of coke on a fence post whilst I did up my shoe lace, whe all of a sudden this orrible little thing jumped onto the postand knocked my drink off. To make things worse it then turned on me and another man standing nearby.

I was able to salvage th rest of mydrink and beat a very hasty retreat.

I have found The Avenue Muswell Hill on Google Earth. Which house ar you staying in?

Keep on having a great holiday.

Love from Quakers Hill.
