*dimsumdolly* - the different morsels of the life of a foodie

Paris Je T'aime

It was a great weekend of racing along the Thames River. Paddled 22 miles from Richmond to Greenwich. Great atmosphere amongst all participants, paddle boats of all kinds were on the river, some people dressed up and it was just awesome. Loved it!!!

I felt like a tourist attraction myself especially when we paddled past the Westminster part of the Thames, passing all the icons of London - Big Ben, the London Eye, St Paul's Cathedral, Oxo Towers, Tate Modern, Tower of London, Tower Bridge etc. We paddled past a total of 28 bridges and people on the bridges cheered the passing boats on. Awesome.

Sunday I went to Hampton Court Palace by myself and spent most part of the late morning and half the afternoon there. Lovely palace gardens and the exhibits are fantastic. Very good and informative piece of English Tudor and Georgian history. Definitely worth a visit and it's worth taking food for a picnic in the gardens too! Well, that pertains only to when it's sunny of course!

Anyway, am off to Paris tomorrow! And I haven't even packed!!! My Eurostar train leaves at 7am so you can imagine that tonight will be a bout of maniac packing for me!!! But nevermind, I'll catch up with sleep on the train. Heehee.
