The Idiot gleefully took the seven-mile Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Walk to see sights — including Kensington Palace, Spencer House and Buckingham Palace — in London and take a break from promoting The Idiot and the Odyssey III: Twenty Years Walking the Mediterranean.

The circular walking trail, which passes through Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park, Green Park and St. James’s Park, is marked with ninety plaques with a rose etched in the center.

Naturally there are signs, and photos, of Princess Di along the way.

There’s currently a show called “Diana: Her Fashion Story” at Kensington Palace.

The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain is obviously included on the Princess Diana Memorial Walk.

The Idiot tried to look at every landmark — like the statue of Peter Pan, the Italian Gardens, the Serenity Sculpture and the Huntress Fountain in the Rose Garden — as though he was the princess out for a leisurely stroll.

It’s probably no coincidence that the Huntress Fountain in the Hyde Park Rose Garden features a bronze figure of Diana, the goddess of hunting.

The bronze Serenity sculpture was inspired by the Egyptian goddess of nature.

The Peter Pan statue is located at the spot in Kensington Gardens where Peter lands after flying out of the nursery.

The Idiot ended the Princess Diana Memorial Walk by purchasing a bouquet of flowers which he placed at a floral tribute to the princess.
