Day 18 London

 It was another beautiful Sunday in London !  

It started with a special breakfast made with "viennoiseries" from our neiborghood bakery.  

Today we had each our itinerary.  

Chantal and Raymond went to Wallace Collection.  The Wallace Collection is a London museum established in 1897 following the donation by Lady Wallace of the enormous collection of ancient art inherited in 1870 by her husband, the British collector and philanthropist Richard Wallace.  They stayed there for about 3 hours because there is so much to see. They also had lunch in the the room.  

After the visit, they went at Daunt bookstore.  It is an original Edwardian bookshop with long oak galleries, situated in Marylebone Hight Street. They saw this particular book.

Then, they followed there road to Regent Park for a calm and relax walk.  On their way to the tube they saw the famous Beatles Store on Baker Street, so they  went to take a look. 

 

Anne and Alex went at Tate Modern to see the Genesis Exhibition: Do Ho Suh, Walk the house.

They strolled to Borough Market and came back to have a look at  Battersea Power Station.

As for myself, I went to visit Chiswick. It is a leafy, upmarket area with a village feel.  Each sunday is special in Chiswick.  The 3e sunday of the month is Cheesewick Market.  It was a very festive ambiance and a great pleasure to taste all these locally produced cheeses.  

 

I was walking around randomly and found a really cute place to have lunch. 

  

On my way back from lunch, I saw a really impressive group of street musicians. They were making music with sticks in their hands and bells hanging from their clothes.

As it was sunday, it had to be Sunday roast.  So we went to the pub to live this full british experience of the Sunday roast.  In fact, the English usually eat this meal at lunchtime. We, as tourists, prefer to have this very hearty meal in the evening.
