Oh what a day!!! I was acting as a guide in London for all day. I’ve met Chantal and Raymond at their B&B and we went to my place. Chantal was curious about my flat. As we were passing beside, we enter Westminter Cathedral to have a quick look.
Then we go for a longgggggggggg walk. Via Buckingham Palace, we took St-James Street to see St-James Palace. We walk on St-James Street until Jermyn where we admired the luxurious mens stores. We visit Piccadilly Arcade and Burlington Arcade and went to Fortnum and Mason. We then follow Regent Street to go back on The Mall and head up to Trafalgar Square. We’ve hang around for awhile and had lunch at the crypt of St-Martin in the Field. After this little break we follow The Strand until the Inns of Court. We visit Temple Church. We then walk on north Thames path and cross Golden Jubilee bridge to walk on the south path of the Thames. That was very animated like always. From there we could have a great view of the parliement and Big Ben. We cross back Westminter Bridge and follow our road on Victoria Embankment where we visit and relax in the gardens. Then it was time for something to drink, We went at the Somerset House yard. We sit there for half an hour then got back on our feet and head up to Covent Garden. Chantal was surprise because she had on her mind that Covent Garden was a garden. There is no garden there. That a place to shop for souvenirs or watch entertainers doing show and music. We visite Neal Street and Neal Yard and finish our promenade at Belgo Centraal. Another surprise for Chantal. But I think it is usual to be surprise the first time at Belgo… just to found out there is no restaurant when you come in!!
Anyway, we had a great time. We kiss goodbye at Victoria Station where Raymond bought the oysters card. I will meet them again Saturday for the lunch at Kensington Palace L’Orangery.
