A Former Royal Deer Hunting Park
I've come to warm towards Hyde Park over the last few years. It wasn't my favourite go-to-park before, but I love it now. I particularly like the long stretch of walking path near the Knightsbridge end. I will likely see the King's Soldiers along North Carriage Drive in their finery as they head towards Buckingham Palace.

The dorms were always fully booked on weekends with domestic tourists and there was always a buzz in the downstairs café. Camera crews were constantly in and out of the place interviewing the Japanese staff members who worked the café. I think it had something to do with the egg sandwiches. At least that was what was on most of the merchandise, except for that one dishcloth with the owner’s face on it. Was I being employed by a local celebrity?

Most underrated tourist destinations in the world
Here are some underrated travel destinations around the world that deserve more attention: 1.) Mongolia: Known for its traditional gers (yurts), friendly nomadic people, and herds of wild horses across untouched steppes, Mongolia offers a unique experience. With a new international airport and affordable local-led tours, this seemingly far-flung country is more accessible than you might expect. Explore the capital, Ulaanbaatar, and then venture into the picture-perfect ranges and fresh mountain air of Gorkhi Terelj National Park. Spending a night under the stars in your own ger is an unforgettable experience.

HIGH UP, BIG BEN
I'm getting good at refreshing the online button for hard-to-secure tickets for special events 😆. Big Ben was no exception. I remember the last time I 'queued up' online was for The Garden Picnic at Buckingham Palace. Thankfully, the wait wasn't so long for my tickets for Big Ben, which were booked two months in advance.
