May 2

 It was not what we can call a pretty good night of sleep.  I was awake half the time, but since I have been in my bed very early, around 19h30, I manage to gain some energy anyway.

This morning, I went to the big grocery store called Sainsbury's. In fact, it looks like our Costco.  A big place when you can buy a piece of cheese and an some furniture at the same time.  It was a 20 minutes walk, but I took the bus to came back because my bag was heavy.  It took more then 20 minutes, because there was trafic on the road.  

I came back to see that the arrival of Ghylaine, Roger, Anne and Josée is delayed.  What a bad luck to start a vacation.  They arrived a few minutes after 1:30 p.m. They told me they had to stay on the plane for 2 hours before departure.  But hopefully they are very positives and nothing will spoil their british vacations.

After a light lunch at home, we went on the Royal Tour. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, this is the first tour I've done for first time visitors to London. In this tour we walked through St. James's Park, we saw Buckingham Palace, we walked on The Mall, we had a quick stop at Trafalgar Sqaure, we crossed the Jubilee Bridge to walk the way to the south past the London Eye to arrive on Westminster Bridge from where we have a majestic view of the Palace of Westminster and the Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben). Before heading back to the tube, we had a look at Westminster Abbey. We couldn't see much because they are preparing for the coronation and there were bleachers all around.  Here is a view of the Admiral Arch that lead to Trafalgar Square.

We came back a bit early for our pub reservation but it was time for us to relax and enjoy some good Fish and Chips. Nice way to end the day!  

I finally choose my place to write the blog. Isn't it a nice spot!
