Jour 11, 8 mai 2024

 What a beautiful day !! We started a little later than usual because my companions needed to sleep after the long day yesterday.

So we went around Piccadilly today. We did the usual route: Green Park station, Old Bond street, Saville Row, Burlington Arcade, Royal Academy of Arts, Fortnum and Mason, Hatchard… After this trail, we were ready for lunch. We went to a food truck yard and we all chose a different meal. We sat in the park and had lunch there.

Dominique met Churchill and Rosevelt.

With renewed energy we continued down Regent Street to Carnaby Street. We entered the Liberty Store where we bought some cool souvenirs. The salespeople were so nice! We were very proud of our purple Liberty bags!

After Liberty, we chose to take the tube to Holborn station, from where we walked to the Covent Garden area. We stopped at Cross Keys Pub for an afternoon break. We spoke with a very nice French bartender. 

Look at our Liberty's bags!

We followed our route to Covent Garden.

After a short tour of Covent Covent, we arrive on the Strand. Before taking the tube, my friends wanted to see the Gordon Wine Bar, the oldest wine bar in London. So off we went.

This evening we cooked a homemade meal: Pasta. Chicken, asparagus and pesto. A delight! But before dinner, we had an aperitif on our small terrace. It was my first day without a jacket!! 

A view from our balcony.  You can see blue sky over London!

So I finished this post with 15642 steds on the clock.  I leave you with this thought:
