Well, we didn’t get a lot of sunshine, but at least it didn’t pour! We spent the beginning of our day wandering around Regent’s Park and Kensington Gardens. A small scare of rain sent us hunting for late breakfast, which we found was on the same street as the stables! Then it was time for horseback riding through Hyde Park. It was fantastic! And it only rained on us once! It was a little scary at times, especially when we would pass people with open umbrellas and our lead horse would go crazy! Apparently most horses are scared of umbrellas… random fact for the day. After riding for an hour, we spent the rest of the afternoon exploring Hyde Park, where we found the Peter Pan statue and the Princess Diana memorial fountain. We walked along the Serpentine where we saw a mother swan and her babies (I’m not sure what the proper term for a young swan is). They were beautiful and came so close to us! After plenty of adventure, and more than enough walking for one day, we called it a day pretty early, grabbed some snacks from the nearby Tesco’s (a grocery/convenient store) and hung out with some newly made friends in the lobby of our hotel.
