Relaxing Thursday ...

Thursday - Today we had no particular agenda so we started off with a trip to the Camden Canal Market. We watched with great interest as a couple navigated a narrow-boat through the canal lock. We've been through a ton of locks in our day, but we've never participated in the actual operation of the lock. The market was interesting (must tuck this location away in case we're looking for tatoos or piercings in the future) but items for sale could have been found in any market anywhere in the world - nobody had anything which had any local flavour to it. We stopped at the Oxford Arms for lunch and then got back on the tube and headed for High Street Kensington, an excellent shopping area.

Since, on our way, we were passing through King's Cross Station, we stopped for the obligatory picture at Track 9 3/4. I do believe the family set of photos here is now complete!

Supper tonight was at PetDoc & Noise's flat - barbecued chicken, vegetables, fresh baguette with dipping sauce. We enjoyed this delicious supper while we watched the BBC repeat broadcast of Eric Lemaze' gold-medal jump-off and Andrew Willows' advance to the K2 500m finals. We had seen both earlier today but PetDoc & Noise were now home to watch.

No agenda for Friday - we'll check out Rick Steves' recommendations and see if something (without too much walking) appeals to us. We're both going to need hip replacements when we get home - we've done so much walking and climbed so many hills and stairs!
