jour 31

This morning we said goodbye to Isabelle and Raymond.  It was a short visit, but so pleasant.  They are a lovely couple.

As you can see they would have stay longer if it had been possible.

Raymonde et Robert went to Greenwich with the Thames Clipper.  It is a city boat who is sailing on the Thames river. Of course, they visited the observatory but they also enjoyed the maritime museum and the market in Greenwich.
    

In the meantime I went to explore a new neighborhood : North of Mayfair.  I was charmed.  I thought that maybe I may find an accommodation in this area next time I will visit London.  At first, I walked on Marylebone High Street.  I visited Daunt Books.  It is a beautiful Edwardian books store.


I also entered in the famous children clothes store Rachel Riley.  It was very difficult to not buy.  The sales was very interesting but since I already bought clothes for Zoey and Mila yesterday, I had to be reasonable.  I also entered many other boutiques of clothes and decoration. I saw a singular ice cream store.  Make me had a thought for Robert.


I ended up St-Christopher place.  As is was time for lunch, I went at Sofra, a well know Turkish chain restaurant in London.


After lunch I was near Oxford Street and Selfridge was just around the corner, so I decided to pay a visit at the famous department store.


I followed my way and crossed through the richest corner of Mayfair.  Oh la la!!  That was luxury!  Raymonde would have enjoyed for sure.
   
I came back by Green Park.  Finally, it was a 9.8 km ride.
