After reading Three Men In A Boat by Jerome K. Jerome, I really wanted to see Hampton Court Palace. It's not far from our house, about 30 minutes towards London. It has a maze that for some reason is reported to be the most famous in the whole world.
Our biggest mission was to see a ghost, and if not that, learn about some. This palace is so haunted there is even a ghost dog.
The photo below is supposed to be a very haunted corner of the palace.
The palace is lots of fun and definitely worth a visit. It has people dressed up in costume from the time of King Henry VIII and there is a working kitchen, my favorite part.

The kitchen was fully operational, this man informed me that women were not allowed in the kitchen in the time of KH8.

| A Noble Boke of Cokereye. |
The King walks around chatting with an ambassador. He is announced as he approaches and everyone is told to bow

| The fellow in the back middle of the photo jumped into this shot on purpose. I loved it. |

| Ghost of a bald man!! |

You Tube video of ghostly sighting from above location.
Note to tall, baldish men visiting HCP: Stay away from the jester! He is very funny and the show is lots of fun, however, poor baldys!

| Notice codpiece. |
One activity to enjoy is going to see the king eat the dinner that is prepared in the kitchen.
 |
| This guard is taking his job excessively seriously. |

| Last chance to spot a ghost! |
