Week end in London (2)

Signor Sassi was certainly up to his reputation. Incidentally they have restaurants in Leicester too.

Saturday morning we met up with my brother & niece. We watched my brother's girl-friend on TV. She was live on a BBC current affairs show. A. then came home. So it was sort of "funny" to see her on TV and 25 minutes later in blood and flesh !

My friend and I we went back to our hotel on foot through Primerose Hill, Regent Park, Baker St and Hyde Park.

I had booked tickets to go to see "Wicked" at the Apollo Victoria Theatre. It was an enjoyable musical although maybe slightly too long (see : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wicked_(musical)

Sunday we had an other chance to see F, A & G. This time we met up at the Tate Britain to see Susan Hiller exhibition. See : http://www.tate.org.uk/britain/exhibitions/susanhiller/default.shtm

We had lunch the 5 of us in a cafe near Baker St. My brother and his family went back home. T. and I visited the Wallace Collection. It's really a gem. See : http://www.wallacecollection.org/

They have as well a very nice restaurant and tea room but it is so succesful you can't get in without booking ahead even for a cup of tea !

We ended up at the Lanesborough Bar at Hyde's Park Corner while outside there was a demo about all the going on in the Middle East.
