Day 23: Kews Royal Botanic Garden

Our first visiting spot in London! We first took the train to Richmond station, then walk to here. This Royal Botanic Garden is huge! Today was tough because of the weather 🌧☀️🌧☀️ So we got wet, dry, wet, dry as well. It didn’t help when we had to carry our laundry with us for the visit as the weather is so humid that it was so difficult to dry the clothes in the UK. Therefore, instead of doing laundry at our friend’s place, we decided to find a laundromat. But, laundromat is not that common in the UK apparently. Lucky that there was one next to the Garden, so we decided to bring our laundry with us to the Garden 🤣

The Garden has a few green houses to visit. The most impressive one is the 2-storey green house at next to the Victoria Gate Entrance. We have never seen such a giant green house before. It was also one of the more ancient green house, which a lot of the modern ones followed its architectural design. (Like the tiny green house in the University of Guelph, it had similar design as this one). Despite the weather and weight, we actually had a lot of fun just walking around the area.

After visiting this place, we went off to do our laundry 🧺 after that, we went to the Kews Garden underground station to take the Tube back to Wimbledon😉Read more
