Wed 27th May

We decided to try to find a shop to buy a map. We finally ended up at Horsham (very different to our's) It was raining but not too cold.
We discovered how easy it is to get lost and totally lose any idea of direction. We found a map but even that didn't help heaps as we still couldn't work out which direction we were heading in.

When we thought we were heading east we found ourselves west, then north west and heading further away from where we intended to go. We ended up near Hampton Court Palace around 2pm.

WOW what a place. It is enormous. The grounds are large and and magnificent. The palace itself amazing. So many rooms and everything on a grand scale. Quite awesome. We walked for 3 hours and could still have stayed longer although we were extremely tired by now.

We were trying to get to Kingston on Thames when we found Hampton Court so after leaving there literally went around the corner to Kingston on Thames. Owen grew up there until they emmigrated. Then we had to find our way home from there and of course it was peak time.
We finally arrived back around 7pm very tired. We ended up doing about 450km. (not what we intended) Went to dinner and then back to bed.
