This morning, we boarded a train at Waterloo Station for a 35-minute train ride to Hampton Court. At Hampton Court was the Palace where Henry VIII and William III lived. We saw their apartments, Henry VIII's kitchens, the chocolate kitchens, the Palace Gardens, and much, much more.
I saw a video about Henry VIII's six wives. SIX WIVES! Can you believe it? They were Catherine of Aragon (divorced), Anne Boleyn (beheaded), Jane Seymour (died), Anne of Cleves (divorced), Kathryn Howard (beheaded) and Katherine Parr (widowed). Also, here's a handy rhyme to find what happened to his wives:
Divorced
Beheaded
Died (pause)
Divorced
Beheaded
Survived
Funny, right?
After we explored the Palace we attempted to navigate the Hedge Maze. It was the oldest in the UK still standing, and we had a fun time trying to find the center.
After we got back, we got ice cream, went to Megacity Comics (I got the Doctor Who comic strip collection The Cruel Sea) and ate dinner.
