Leeds Castle

Updating again... too bad this is REALLY behind! I'll just make this brief!
We bought these tickets from national express that are like a combined ticket for transport and entry into leeds Castle. We got there and walked through the castle gardens for a while. It was actually a REALLY nice day even ifi t was cold... The gardens has a "duckery" so there are hundreds of birds everywhere... like peacocks, ducks, swans... and probably more. I got REALLY close to a lot of the peacocks it was kind of disturbing.
The castle itself served more as a living quarters than an acutal defense fortress thing... So inside it was all redone by this lady who inherited it somehow. I don't really remember who, but some famous royalty stayed in the castle at one point or another... i think i remember something about henry VII.
The castle grounds also has an aviary... with EVEN MORE birds (all of this with birds is especially amusing to liz and me bec. amy is scared of birds - so we had a lot of fun with that...) The aviary had some endangered birds which i thought was strange. They had toucans, parrots, macaws, weird birds i've never heard of. Ok so after that they had this little labyrinth made out of shrubs. It was really fun... we got lost for a while.. but i finally got to the center and had to guide the others to the end. losers! All of the little kids were beating us!
That was about it... it really wasn't THAT exciting, just something pretty to look at.
