Today is Joëlle and Nancy's arrival. So this morning, we stayed home to do laundry. Their plane was on time, and I picked them up at South Kensington station. Exhausted after all that travelling, they were very happy to arrive home.
The flight was pleasant. They slept a little, but they were so eager to arrive in London that they were ready to do some sightseeing. They took the time to settle in and have breakfast before heading out for the traditional Royal Tour.
On the way, I noticed that Partridges was no longer in Duke of York Square.After 50 years in Chelsea, Partridges has close its doors last February. Sad.
We did our tour slowly, taking time to stop for photos or just to admire all around. For those who don't know about the Royal tour, it is the tour I guide with all my friends on the first time in London, the day of their arrival. On this tour, we see St-James Park, The Mall, Trafalgar Square, we cross the Thames river by the Golden Jubilee Bridge, we walk on the south path, passing in front the London Eye to the Westminster Bridge. We could have a good look of Big Ben (Elizabeth Tower) and at the Parliement to end our tour in front of Westminster Abbaye. That is where we took the bus back to our house.
Tonight we went for a traditionnal pub dinner, at The Phoenix. I was happy to taste my first Fish and Chip of my Bristish trip this year.
Nancy and Joelle are both very good travelers. They keeped going all the long, until we came back from dinner. They are now ready to go to sleep as I finish the report of today.
