<<< It's not like England is without flaws. Just take a look at their zip
codes. I'm sorry, KT8 9AU isn't a zip code. It's one of those fuzzy
passwords you use to verify secure internet transactions.
Anyway, just because our guy took care of the bloke from Manchester
during their bout in Las Vegas on Saturday Night, doesn't mean we can't
still be friends. It's with this in mind, somebodyisfromhere.com looks at
one of England's best kept secrets.
The Hampton Court Palace is just 35 minutes from London. Proving the
Waterloo Station is good for more than Bourne movies, you hop on at

Inside there is plenty to see. Henry VIII lived on the grounds and his state
rooms are much the same as he left it. Meanwhile, elsewhere there is the
Renaissance Picture gallery in which the Palace boasts as one of the
better Renaissance collections in England. The Triumphs of Caesar is
yet another gallery showing Julius' greater achievements.

Still, walking the grounds for free is what makes the trip worth while. Nothing like walking around the building to help register the scope of
the large premises. They are rightfully proud of their well kept gardens which do manage to impress(you know, for gardens).
And if you want to combine the two -- say you want to be outside and spend your money - - well you, too, are in luck, There is a green
