* Friday:
What a mess! I was waiting for the coach of 1.50pm, I showed my ticket to the bus driver and took a seat in it. 5minutes before leaving Canterbury, I had a flash.... I forgot my keys... You know the keys to open the flat in Hampstead... I left the bus in a hurry explaining to the bus driver the reasons who said me 'Oh what a shame!' Really???! Argh... I had to book another ticket 1 hour later... 15£ (the single...hmmm niiice grrr) We are in holidays in Canterbury and there are Unibuses every 30min, which means that I had not enough time to back to my room in darwin, and back to the bus station in one hour to get my coach. So.... the solution was the cab... 14£ to go and return... and the driver was a little bit weird, you know the kind of man who believes to know everything telling me his conception of France and people who leave in Deal and in big town, I just wanted to say 'Shut up and drive your cab!!!' but my parents well brought up me... so I just answer by Yes or No...
Finally I arrived in London Victoria 30 minutes after Rémy.
On Friday night we just went to the pub the White Bear in a first time, but I was really disappointed because it wasn't the pub that I've known 2 or 3 years ago with Mum Dad Elé Daniel & Martin, where we met 2 mates one blind and drunk, and the other blind because he was drunk! It was really funny.
At that time it is a kind of bar lounge (or wine bar, I don't really know) with the Bobo of Hampstead, it stinks of money and people are not really kind (not the waitress, the clients) A tall and fat man with his Eva Joly's glasses just said 'No this is my umbrella' with a dark look as if this umbrella was a gold ingot while we have taken Daniel's umbrella who was very similar, that's why we just mixed it up. Pfff!
We asked the bill and went back to our favourite pub the Holly Bush, where some of waiter seem to recognize us! And then we ate at Meghna, where my friend was waiting for us with his bottle of wine! haha
* Saturday:
In the morning we just have a walk in Hampstead after a grasse mat' (because Rémy was tired) and a big breakfast from Gail's.
At 1pm, we began to walk to our lunch which is in Hanbury Street. A Fish and Chips... because Rémy wanted another one for a long time ago, so we went to
Poppies (I think that Daniel and Martin have already mentionned it)
It is a really nice place where we can find a jukebox, the waitress wear 60's clothes (really funny) and If you take away your fish and chips, it serves in a cone looking like newspaper and not in this sort of horrible plastic box...

| I had a regular one ^^ |
This is the best junk food ever!
McDonalds can go back where he came from!
The Cod is daily fresh and the chips are home-made!!! we also ate the mashed green beans very gooood! Rémy ordered a limonade, I had never drank a limonade like that very fresh and tasty with a little bit of ginger! Waouh!
A little bit of Magic
After this fabulous Fish and Chips we walked to King's Cross St Pancras to find the most famous platform in the world... The Platform 9 3/4, which is not between the Platform 9 and 10 unfortunately, because in England you have to take your ticket to have access to the platforms. So it's a trolley lost in a wall next to the ticket office... But very funny.
I tried to find the name of Poudlard Express on the timetable board, but no sign of this train... I guess that I missed it... It will be for the next time.
Then we enjoyed the sun (which broke through the clouds for 30min, after... the rain came back ^^)
Rémy tried to attract a pigeon to open the umbrella on it! knowing that there is a little button which permit to open the umbrella in a snap... Could you imagine the impact on the pigeon? Rrrrouououououuuuuuuuuuuuu (a remake of
Angry Birds [c'est en Chinois mais c'est pas grave pour commencer une partie cliquez juste sur le gros oiseau du début, un tableau avec des numéros s'ouvre cliquez 1 et jouez... Elé, je te charge de montrer aux parents comment ca marche ^^] in the real life...) Oooohhhh the Brigitte Bardoooos, calm down, don't worry we didn't touch this pigeon! Because we didn't know how English people could react...
