Day 7 London

 The day started very slowly this morning. After the long day of yesterday, our fellow friends were very tired and had to regain lost of sleep. Joelle slept for 12 hours.  

This morning we went for St-Paul to Borough Market tour.  We took the tube to Embankment and from there we walked to St-Paul Cathedral.  We had the chance to visit the Victoria Embankment garden and the Gordon Wine bar.  

  

It took us about an hour, because we stopped for photos or to comment about what we saw.  Finally arriving at St-Paul, it was time for lunch.  The sky was so beautiful !

We went to Pret for a good and fast lunch.  

After lunch we crossed the Millennium bridge to the Tate Modern.  

We didn't visit any exhibition, but we wondered around and we passed a good moment in the museum shop.  We saw a t-shirt with those accurate words:

Next, we went to Borough Market. We thought it wouldn't be too crowded, as it wasn't summer or a weekend. Wrong! It was so crowded that it wasn't pleasant to be there. We bought food for dinner: mushroom and cashew nut pâté, bread, cheese (local cheddar), English pie, and brownies. That would be our dinner with a salad.

We left the market and went to the Sky Garden, hoping to get in. It wasn't possible. But I had another idea: the Garden, at 120 Fenchurch. It's not as high as the Sky Garden, but it offers breathtaking views of the city from a beautiful garden. Since we were there, we decided to have pre-dinner drinks at 14 Hill, one floor below the garden.

 

And it was time to go home. That evening, we had dinner at home with what we had bought at the market.

A beautiful day!
