Last two days Annie and I have been soaking London up.The first day we rested the morning and then crossed the road and started walking the northside of Thames,We walked to the London eye,watched the Thames and the ship and ferries ,Annie took a lot of photographs,reached St.Pauls...walked down to a fete in the grounds ,ate original yoghurt with blueberries and strawberries.Watched the waters,took a ferry back to London bridge,walked to tower,bought some fish and chips ,sat on the pavement over-looking the tower for sometime and then walked back to Anu's flat in monument.
This morning we took our time with our breakfast and then took the underground to high street Kensington,walked to the Kensington palace,garden,Hyde park,Buckingham palace,Royal Albert Hall.We caught some lovely hot waffles with icecream and nuttella in the garden while we took photographs gallore of various flowers.We took the underground to Covent garden ,enjoyed the street performers with a very cooperative cheering crowds in nooks and corner,walked to Leicester square enjoying the friday crowd,picking bits and bob for gifts,continued to Picadelly circus,Mayfair and walked into the Waterstone which was a treat.There were books and more books.While Annie devoured them I quickly ordered a cup of tea and sat in the restaurant above watching the crowd going about enjoying the faciltiy.
Downstairs both Annie and I drooled over the knick and knacks being sold in Waterstone.There were penguin printed bags,mole-skin covered notebooks,recipe books,variety of book marks and book holders....it went on and on.
I bought two name plates of Covent garden and Regent park for my wall at home,and tiny badges of the London cab,the crown,etc for youngsters back home.
We also walked into a fair at the St.James church compound where I bought an antique silver sterling earring for my mother.
We also ambled into Mayfair.
By the time we took the tube back,it was seven at night.We quickly picked up some groceries at Tesco and were home in the next few minutes.
It is Annie's responsibilty to decide where she wants to go.We also need to read the book on Thames I had bought for Annie.
