day 9 - leeds castle in kent

we rented a five seater citroen and took a scenic drive up to kent to see the leeds castle. stopped for fish and chips lunch at a local pub and to get our directions right before heading off again.surrounding the castle were acres of land with a lake in the middle.the dad and his bollywood attempt.what you see behind me are lavenders, didn't know that the scent from lavenders actually come from the leaves and not really the flower itself!the exterior of the castle before we enter it.inside the castle is a recreation of how the different rooms looked like. there were some replicas but mostly everything you see is the real thing.the dad was a little spooked out by the rooms of the castle - parts of the castle are opened for people to live in, the dad says he would never sleep in the room even if you paid him, hah!view from second floor.this is a perfect picture of a peacock going after a peahen! peacock getting hornnnnyyyy...and trying to attract the attention of the peahen, nope - i didn't stay on till the end to see if he succeeded, i hope he did!i liked this picture, nice shot by my LX3! very pleased.nice trip out of london city, definitely worth going.
