We had planned a Sunday morning up in Camden Town. After breakfast we walked up to Paddington Station and bought three one day tickets at the tube/bus, only to discover that the tube line up to Camden was closed. We might probably have found a bus, but decided to change our plan, and soon we were on a train on the way to Tower.
At least that´s what we thought. There was a lot of work going on on the London transport system yesterday, and to travel from Paddington to Tower would need quite a few changes. And the day was bright and sunny, so when we came to Embankment we left the train, passed the river and started to walk down The Bank.
On Saturday my mind was filled with books. On this walk it was impossible not to be filled with architecture.
The skyline of London is amazing.
And even more so when broken by two beautiful girls.
Being an architect?
No, that´s not for me.
Apprentice of seing beauty?
Yes.
Going back from The Tower of London area would be easy......I thought. Just take TheTube, to somewhere closer to the city.
The Tube station was closed, you got it! And we started to walk on a whip to find a bus.
With sore feet.
Blisters.
But London was welcoming us, again, showering me with camelies, and a bus coing from nowhere, stopping right under a sign "bus stop not in use", takling us almost to the front door of the restaurant I wanted to visit most of all.......

Can you remember when I was in London, finding a treasure when searching for something else?
Now I found the magic again, or rather, this time it found me.
Restaurant Sarastro.
Coming right out of 1001 Night.
Lunch.
Resting feet.
Opera music.
And then a live concert, with the quartet wandering around among out tables. Even sitting down. Tasting food.
Lunch finished.
And still the day had treats for me, and for us.
But that´s for another post!
