26 Sept Thursday - London

26 Sept Thursday - London 

We were without our resident guide for the day who had to go into work.

Due to our wonderful location near St Paul's, we could just take a short stroll to the pedestrian walkway Melinieum Bridge across the Thames.

My Moroccan footwear showing I was on London soil.

 First stop was Shakespeare's Globe Theatre; again, something I didn't expect to ever see.

Jonathan met up with a cousin and we walked on to Borough Market. I think this is the best fresh food market I have been to. 

 I thought of Shell and CK's sister when I saw the spelling of "Michele" at the market.

After a leisurely afternon, we then had a quick walk and a short bus trip to Emma's workplace.  We met her lovely colleagues and went for a few drinks at one of the local bars - very nice location and great company.

Kermy and  Spanish Kermy were introduced  and celebrated:

Off to the tube again to a suburb where Emma used to live. We met Emma's friend Kelly for dinner at one of the (many) Turkish restaurants.  They have such huge serves that they provide take away containers for the 'left overs'.  

 Only as we were leaving did we note the Trip Advisor rating for the Turkish restaurant.

The night was still ' young ' ? as there was another tube ride and short walk to see where Emma now lives (with her landlady). After a short chat and look at the very well positioned house, we were on the tube again and back home before the last train of the night.

No wonder we had to re-load our Oyster cards as we had become very frequent travellers on the buses and the tube.
