After planning and saving for two years I left my home in OZ to live, work & travel the UK, and Western Europe. Best thing I've ever done.

A day at Leeds Castle

Johnny & I

I definitely needed to do some sightseeing, so having a day off I went with my cousins Faye and her boy Johnny to Leeds Castle in Kent. Its a beautiful castle, hundreds of years old which has been restored many times.

The grounds surrounding the castle are beautiful, lakes and ponds full of many species of ducks, geese, white and black swans! They also have magnificent aviaries which exist from the eighteenth century coz some rich lady loved birds. There's macaws, lorikeets, owls, parrots, spoonbills ect. Even the castle corridors were lined with paintings of birds.

Then there was the big hedge maze, so totally confusing an near impossible to get to the middle!!! We found a guide who leads us in the right direction eventually!!! Felt very Harry Potter =D We took Johnny to play in the playground which was pretty cool.

The castle's beautiful and immaculate, they spend a lot of time and money keeping it so pristine. Definitely a must see for tourists =D
