The Story
Day 5 – We started the day off at Kensington Palace. It was a very majestic palace. We learnt about absurd Victorian royal traditions at the palace. We dropped by at the Harrods to have a look around. Next, we visited the London Transport Museum to see the fascinating evolution of transport in London. We then proceeded to the London Bridge Experience, which was sort of a haunted house, loosely based on the history of the London Bridge. It was a fun experience after which we each had Schnitzel to celebrate lol. We proceeded to our first show in London, Lion King. What a blessed moment to have witnessed that! I was awe-struck from the initial moment. I’m glad to have finally seen it.
We ended the night at the Duke of Wellington pub. We walked 18,777 steps and 12.93 KMs.
