One morning, Nancy Drew decided she really wanted to go to Leeds Castle. I had never been to a castle before so I was happy to embark on an adventure. We braved public transit from Sittingborne and found ourselves catching a train to Maidstone, which is near where the wedding was held.
Fun fact: This is the Maidstone train station. If you show up here at 1AM and ask a stranger for directions, he'll most likely point you in the wrong direction causing you to walk a half mile into a small town, with your luggage in tow, before deciding that you should have taken a taxi in the first place. Of course, this is completely a hypothetical scenario.
We finally made it to Leeds Castle and this was the first thing we saw. Totally worth it! An albino peacock. Say WHAT?
I really love living in an urban area but every once in a while I fall in love with the open country. Especially, when there are castles on the horizon.
Oh well, hello there my friend! Thank you for lining up for the perfect mug-shot. BUSTED!
This is the front of Leeds Castle. It dates back to 1119 AD and people lived here until 1974! If I win the lottery, this is what I'm going to buy. Seriously.
For some reason this reminded me of a level from a video game. Unfortunately, I can't remember the video game, so I'll just default and say Super Mario Bros. or Legend of Zelda.
Even something as beautiful as a castle can be completely ruined by a 9th grade German field trip. I had to wait about 20 minutes for this picture. Totally worth it but now I don't like Germany and children. That's a lie; I've never liked children or Germans.
