Buckingham Palace Weekend

I woke up happy this past Easter weekend because the weather forecast lady had reported that we'd be having sunny warm weather in London! The plan was to use public transport and head into town and soak in the sun. So I dressed up, grabbed my shades, flats and went out to central London to see what the day would be like. 

Took the train and It was actually amazing seeing people out and about. Due to Covid, a lot of human activity had been stopped, restaurants, museums, malls, parks, recreational centres, hotels... closed or can only admit x number of people at a time. We now await the opening up of more places such as salons, outdoor restaurants etc. this week. Yeii!!

Despite the sun coming out, one would have to still dress up by layering up warm bits of clothing because one can never be too sure of what they will find along their journey - weather-wise.  So my plan was to ensure that I was comfortable and warm throughout my entire time walking the beautiful streets in London. 

And my destination? Glad you asked... The Buckingham Palace! 

I had previously made a trip to Windsor castle the day before, and I just had to finish off with the majesty's humble abode when she is not in the countryside. Comparing the two sites, Buckingham palace is a definite win for me! Although I must say, to be fair, we did not get to see much of Windsor castle because it is still not open to the public and neither is Buckingham palace, but you will get a better view as it's more open, architecturally - me thinks!

I was all smiles because the sun is something rare on this parts of the world... went to check out the other places such as The Constitution Hill Arch, Hyde park and Grosvenor gardens. With limited things to do, places to sit and relax one would not be out and about for long. I did appreciate the history though that was on walls as we crossed over from the palace using the subway where there was a bit more detail about the gigantic monuments seen by the roads.

All in all, that weekend out was absolutely amazing, so if you are new in town, make sure you try check out some of these sights and let me know in the comment section below, your thoughts.

My wardrobe choice for this day was as follows:

• Pants - H&M
• Long jacket - Zara
• Blue gilet - Zara

Until next time, Kwaheri (bye in Swahili).

Simply,

Adonia.
