Kew Gardens Next day after my arriving in London I visited the world famous Kew Botanical Gardens. It is located very close to the place where I stayed. I thought it was not the best time of the year to visit gardens but I was wrong: camellias, rhododendrons and cherries trees were in bloom, some bulbs were coming up. It was a very pleasant strolling through the gardens. Greenhouses are gorgeous also, I was lucky to see blooming of orchids. I was there for about 4 hours and must have only seen about one-third of the site and would happily go again to see more. I also spent a half hour in a shop, choosing and writing some postcards for my friends.
