Jour 11

Who said that Sunday is for rest?  For all of us, it was a very busy Sunday.  But how interesting!
We split early in the morning.  Jose and Denis went to Greenwich   and Carole and me went for a London walk to visit Old Highgate Village.

José and Denis took the boat called Thames clippers.  It is a nice ride on the Thames from Westminster to Greenwich.  That is great because you can see many London iconic marks on the way and it was so cool to pass under all those beautiful bridges.
They were at the Observatory in time to look at the big orange ball go up and down at 1pm.  Obviously, they took a picture of their feet East and West of  the meridian 0.
 
  

As for Carole and I, we went for the walk of the Old Highgate Village where we could have a spectacular view of London.  It is a borough where we can see some of the most expensive houses of London.  In fact their is the bigger house of London which belong to a very rich Russian.
In the Village, live Kate Moss, Jamie Oliver, Jude Law and for a time George Michael, Charles Dickens and even Miss Marble were living there too.

After the walk we had a big lunch at a very chic Pub called The Flash.  We then went to the Highgate cemetery. We walk there, in the peaceful area for a while.  We saw the gravestone of Carl Marx.
     
  

Tonight we made a great discovery for the dinner:  Stockwell Continental.  We ate pizza and salad.  It is a casual place with young peoples, 10 minutes from our english home.  Carole had an excellent cappuccino.
