A wedding anniversary in London












The 31 st of august was our 9th wedding anniversary and I surpised Lisette with a trip to London to see the musical Chicago. We stayed in a very modern hotel St Martin's Lane with lounge music and blue lighting in the elevator with panels in the wall showing waving bambou trees... A special toilet of which we had trouble finding out how to flush it! At night we went to a tapas restaurant in the west end and we walked through china town to see if the chinese restaurant was still there were we ate a long time ago (Wong Kei). After that we went to see Chicago. Unfortunately Lisette already seen it 9 years ago in holland and me too but I missed a part back then (because I fell asleep). This time I stayed awake and it was a brilliant performance!




The next day we went to see what has changed since the fire in the Camden locks.




It looked the same although the old undergorund stables were gone but luckily they preserved the image of beying a retro and modern market where you can find everything you need and don't need but end up buying anyway.




The kids stayed with their grandparents in De lier and had a great time as well.
