Slight error yesterday when I told you the mooring fees were £5. First 24 hours are free but there after it's £5 for boats under 60ft. Above 60ft double the price!
For anyone wanting to stop at Hampton Court moorings beware. The concrete is high enough that cabin side paintwork could be damaged although a board runs along the who;e length . We put our fat fenders down to keep us off the edge.
Took ourselves off to Hampton Court Palace and paid the grand sum of £14.50 each. That is the concessionary price and only if you don't pay UK tax. Otherwise £19.50 per adult or £16 for OAP's. We spent nearly 5 hours looking round just the rooms of the Palace without even venturing out to the gardens.

We think it was a pipestral Bat and the poor thing was very disorientated. Flew continually round and round until eventually landing on the floor. A lady managed to throw her cardigan over it and gently remove it to the garden.

So today, because we never got to see the grounds we paid another £4.50 each to go into the formal gardens and a further £4.50 each to get lost in the maze! And then for a 15 minute carriage ride round part of the grounds it's yet another £4. Not a cheap place to visit!!! But with the cost aside we loved every minute and with today being the hottest day this month it was an added bonus. Another £2.50 each was spent on ice cream!!!
