Weekend starts in London

I bought an Oyster Card to travel around Inner London during the next week for only 22 Pounds. Then I enjoyed the rides and walks through the well known and long missed streets of London, from Islington to St Paul's where we met Ashley.
Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh - time to exhale!
Sitting in the sun on the steps of St Paul's Cathedral feeling like in a Mary Poppins movie, relaxing after the adventures of the last day, and just loving life again!
Scones at Marks and Spencer's!
Coffee to take away right at the corner from the Youth Hostel where my daughter and me had stayed so often when in London last century!
Traveling is such a great way of spending your days!
If only the coffee had been better...
Well, Ashley left her office just after 5 pm, and it was great to get to know this friendly woman from Namibia whom I had met in chat so often already! The three of us easily chatted again like long friends on our way through the Dockland to Greenwhich. Who would have thought we only just met, and Fernando and me knew each other since six weeks only!
In the oldfashioned Pub "The Gipsy Moth" close by famous Cutty Sark we met two good friends of Ashley's, found a table in the small garden, and had the english summerdrink Pimms - a must with a weather like this!
Greenwich looks like the cutest old english village you can imagine, full of people eager for some time off after a week of work, now merrily eating, drinking, chatting, laughing.
The small diner we had chosen was closed by the time we left the pub. We'll have to go back, because they had all the traditional english food Fernando had been looking for all week now, but never found so far. Steak and kidney pie, shepherd's pie, mash, peas, liqueur and eel - you name it, they got it!
We went to a chinese restaurant instead (how often can I eat chinese in one week outside China, I wonder). And then back home to Islington.
I thought.
Because I was so very tired after only four short hours of exhausted sleep. Fernando and I were living on coke by then, we could hardly keep our eyes open.
But Ashley insisted we went this special open air show of fire and airy acrobatics just roud the corner, and we went, and it was worth it!
So it was 1 am till we got home again, but so what? We're on holiday, we can sleep as long as we want.
But - the big town is calling, and all the sights and adventures are awaiting us, so I guess it won't be so long a night, after all!
