River boat to Hampton Court Palace


We took a cruise up the Thames to Henry VIII's Hampton court palace.


People were out in all kinds of crafts that day.



Here are some kids getting lessons.




The river is tidal and so at a couple of places where we had to go under bridges, and the tide was low, we had to go to the side and go through a lock system.




When the sun was out, we sat on top to see the views.



At HCP, there is a maze and this is Hilary at the end.












One of the rose gardens. It wasn't at it's peak.










There was a wedding close by and they were using the palace to take some pictures.



















Another one of the formal gardens.







































The other view of the palace.
