Today, I went to Hampton Court Palace. It used to belong to King Henry VIII. You know, the guy who had a fetish for severed heads?
[He had like, 6 wives!]Fortunately, the palace didn't harbour any evidence of his weird habits, but there was a really weird toilet located in the middle of the hallway.
[Nice plush seat. Why is there a lock?]
I went with my cousin and his wife, and my lovely lady, on an audio tour that took us over four hours to complete, including a picnic break we took within the palace gardens. There was a lot of information about England's history, with a special focus on Henry's relationships, including the two wives he had beheaded (what a nice guy) and the founding of the Church of England (because the Pope wouldn't let him get divorced). Consider it my English history lesson.
There were a lot of weird frescoes on the walls, and a lot of oddly shaped vases and pots in the bedrooms. There was even a bad-ass falconer to scare away the pigeons.
[Nice place to live, if you don't mind the history.]
