Day 28

August 7

Time is running. The english trip is near the end… Well, I still have things to do so no lazy day today. First, we when at the hairdresser to have a blow dry. It is a very cool place with no rendez-vous. As Helen was finishing her blow dry, I went at the back rubbing shop for a ten minutes massage. It was so relaxing !!!! We had our coffee at Monmouth (remember ? it is the best coffee in London) and lunch at World Food. Everything is organic there. It is on second floor in Neal Yard where you can have a fabulous view on the yard.

The weather today was very unsure. For awhile it was sunny and the next minute it was raining. We don’t want weather to run our life, so we jump on the tube and went to Candem. What a cultural shock!! Nothing Hill is groovy but Candem is funky!! There was punks, hippies, gothics and many other non conventionnal people all around. It was so cool to walk in the streets and in the markets. Camden Town is world renowned as the place to shop for alternative clothing and jewels. Everything is colourful and so lively. We hang around for about two hours then return with a waterbus on Regent’s canal to lttle Venice and with the tube to our place.

We relax for about an hour and it was time to go for dinner. Tonight, we wanted to try Indian cuisine, so we went at Mela, a place recommanded by some Londonners. We went by Piccadilly Circus for a change and past via Soho and Chineese Quarter. Mela is A1. Service, food and ambiance, everything was perfect. We feel like we were very important persons.

On our way back, as we were on The Mall, I received a call from Marcel. He was about to leave for the airport. Next time I will talk to him, he will be in front of me. :-)
