Our last day in London!
We walk to Portobello Road in Notting Hill to investigate the gigantic, world-famous Flea Market....
along with 10,000 other people! It was way too crowded for any real shopping, but I did see some interesting antiques along the way.
From what I could see (when I could get close enough to anyone's booth), things were way overpriced. Great selection of items one really doesn't see much of at an American Flea Market, but simply not worth the asking prices.
We overhear a disdainful French man speaking to his companion:
"Zey lure you in and zen zey take your money!"
Got a good chuckle out of that one.
After a tasty lunch of fish and chips, we take a walk through Kensington Gardens. This is where Princess Diana once lived.
Flying Monkey made some friends here!
Flying Monkey pays homage to Queen Victoria.
I have noted and appreciated the unique humor and good manners of the Brits.
Even the squirrels were polite.
At the end of the day, we visit a lovely old church (no such thing as a "new church" anywhere in England, I suspect) called Saint Mary Abbott's which is very close to our B&B. We lit candles and enjoyed the serene atmosphere.
It was a good day!
Off to Paris tomorrow.......
