Capital Ring Walk

I'm not the fittest person in the world. In fact, I'm not a fan of exercising at all, despite occasional tries to prove the opposite. But I like walking, especially when a route goes through some nice places. So yesterday we decided to try walking a couple of sections of the Capital Ring Route which goes around London. We started at the Crystal Palace and finished at Wimbledon Park.

At first it was just fantastic. There were a lot of parks and the view from hills was absolutely stunning. The route was very well marked, so we didn't even need a map. Some of those parks had hidden gems such as rose gardens and small, but beautiful old mansions.



We ate pizza and salad in some small restaurant, which was quite good. They also served so called "heavenly" smoothies, but those were strange. There were big pieces of fruit in it, so it was somehow difficult to drink. But the taste was good anyway.

The second part of the route went mostly through the residential areas, which was interesting at first as it was different from what we're used to see, but then it became slightly boring. Moreover, I got tired, so it got harder to be impressed by small things such as rose gardens or well-decorated houses. So when we got to Wimbledon station, I was totally exhausted.

But all in all, it was a very interesting experience. Now my SO wants to go from Wimbledon to Richmond, and I think it might be a good idea. However, our weekends are already planned well ahead, so I'm not sure when we'll be able to do that.
