The moment I woke up the subsequent morning, the kids were still asleep in their own place in the London apartment we have rented, as Maria was up organizing their breakfast and doing tea for us. We enjoyed a calm half an hour and talked about which spots we are to see through the day. Later the little ones got up and dressed up, enjoyed their breakfast and were at last ready to go.
On that day Maria made a decision that we ought bring the children to see some events, which might be appreciated only in London and which, as we were confident, would impress our kids for a long time. We left our London holiday flat and took the metro to reach the Buckingham Palace, where we attended the changing of the guards’ service. Mike and Emily were absolutely stunned by the foot guards with their red and black uniforms and the specific tall black helmets. The service was not short, but the kids were curious and saw it until the ending and after that did not wish to leave the Memorial of Queen Victoria, wherefrom we got the entire programme.
I went to purchase snacks and fish’n’chips for all of us, while Maria took Emily and Mike and went to the nearby Green Park where we had a modest family picnic and the kids enjoyed sitting on the grass and running with other kids that approached them.
As the afternoon was quite warm, I suggested we must move to the Hide Park and the Kensington Gardens, where is the Princess Diana Memorial and the recreation space next to it. This children area is good for children up to 12 years old. Mike and Emily especially liked the solid wood pirate vessel and were talking about it during the whole evening as we returned to our London vacation apartment.
