A Day in the Royal Borough of Kensington

Today I spent most of the day in Kensington. We went to the science museum this morning for class. I didn't particularly care for it. I liked the Natural History Museum much better. I thought the Natural History Museum had a much more interesting and scientific collection than the Science Museum, which basically had a lot of gadgets. After the museum my roomie and I ate at the crepe place I love and then we walked to Kensington Park and visited the palace. I really liked Kensington Palace. It was really interesting and reminded me a lot of Kew. There was an interesting display about the deputantes and I loved the paintings and clothing they showed throughout the palace. After the palace we walked down toward the high street and I found my flat in Lexham Gardens. It is so nice and the neighbourhood is cute and quiet, unlike my current location. I LOVE IT! We hung around there for awhile but there didn't seem to be anyone coming or going so I could sneak in. I hope the inside is as nice as the outside. We could kind of see in some of the lower windows. I think I'll really like it there. Compared to Byng, it will be a palace! It will definitely be easier for me to come into High Street Kensington. Lexham Gardens is literally just around the corner...I walked right past the hotel I stayed at with Dr. Piper. It would be a realllly long walk, especially with luggage from S. Kensington. After we checked out my flat we went to H&M where we did some speed shopping for cheap dresses for Paris. It was SO hot here today and it is supposed to be really hot while we're in Paris. I just finished washing a bunch of stuff and packing and I really need to get to bed since we have to leave to catch the train at 5:15 a.m. I can't wait! It should be fun. Nighty night
