Sunshine is back. Nice day to go at Notting Hill. I’ve been before but couldn,t really see anything because of the Saturday crowd. Portobello Road is colourful with all those pastel painted building. Today, we go much more far away on Portobello Road and we saw the market. It was so enjoyable. There is food, cloth and all kind of original souvenirs. We had a coffee on a terrace.
We then follow our way on Holland park. It is the wildest park in London. We decide to pay ourself a threath and had a lunch at the Belvedere. Oh la la !! That was so classy. We enjoy sitting there and look at the high class people.
We walk in the park for awhile and end up on High Kensington. We took the bus for Sloane Square where we hang about for a moment and it was the middle of the afternoon, a time for a break.
Tonight, we choose to have an italian dinner and give a try to Da Mario in Covent Garden area. On our way we past along many pubs and could admire again how much gentlemen are well dressed. It is very typical of London all those gentlemen having a pint and chatting outside a pub after work.
I heard about Da Mario on Tripadvisor. That was the best decision we could take. This italian meal was the best we ever had, even in Italy. Helen had Linguini a la Vongole and I had home made ravioli. We saw many customers that come in and shake the hand of the owner. We could notice it wasn’t their first visit. We were surprise by the way they make shine the cutlery. They spay vinegar on before rubbing it. Odd isn’t it ?
After a so delicious meal we need to walk and took a long way to our accomodation. We walk for about an hour. We saw and heard Big Ben at night. Beautiful.

Hello Josée,
I already took many pictures of the Wigram House and the interior of my flat. I only put few pictures on the blog because it is so long to download. I have more than 300 pictures already. I will show you whnen I return.
We will go with your suggestion tonight and try an indian restaurant. Do you know about Mela ?
Hello Girls,
This morning,reading you, I wish I were there. Sigh... However time flies overhere nonetheless, even if the weather look too often sad. When I read the "blogue" I try to imagine how its like and how you two feel.I love the pictures.
Keep well until we meet again
Bye Lise Kiss Kiss
Unfortunatly no and I can't remember the restaurant's name we went on our last trip. I checked in my records and I did not keep trace of it. The only thing I can tell you is that it was very good and that the restaurant was in Notting Hill near our hotel. So I hope you will enjoy Mela. Tell me about it.
