This small ferry is so low in the water so one can wonder if it floats
or crawling at the bottom. |
![]() Vi såg flera segelklubbar som låg efter floden på vår resa mot Kew Garden. 3 We saw several yacht/sailing clubs after the river on our journey towards Kew Garden. |

for our cultures. Wondering if there are miniatures? |

![]() Växthusen i Kew är av ansenlig storlek. Se bara hur högt gången ligger. Då är man bara halvvägs till taket. Går inte att beskriva, så imponerande. The greenhouses at Kew is of significant size.

![]() Utanför tränade man det ultimata engelska bollspelet. Ett spel som bara engelsmän och indier förstår sig på. Outside they trained the ultimate English ball game, Cricket. A game that only Englishmen and Indians understand. |
All walking on the paths in Kew Garden made us thirsty. A beer at the
"sea" can never be wrong. |
![]() Mera typisk engelsk föda. Indiskt, min favorit. Älskar curry och gärna lite stark. More typical English food. Indian, my favourite. Love curry and also a bit strong food. |

tipped on good pub. Didn't find it.
But we found this pub on our wanderings. |
