OCTOBER 6, 2010 (LONDON—DAY 10)

On this, the final full day of our London trip, we went to the Royal Botanical Kew Gardens. It is a favorite place of Verona's and so we decided to go see it. It was a perfect day to do so, as the weather was ideal. In the evening, William and Laura went to a show at the Young Vic Theatre.

A new treetop walkway opened on May 24, 2008. This walkway is 59 feet high and 660 feet long and takes visitors into the tree canopy of a woodland glade. Visitors can ascend and descend either by stairs or by the use of a lift. The floor of the walkway is made from perforated metal and flexes as it is walked upon. The entire structure sways in the wind. It gave us amazing views!
