The Metro: not for the elderly
|
|
My parents, both in their seventies, wanted to visit London. The trip with the Eurostar started like a dream and it was so nice to see the happiness on my parents’ faces. When we decided to take the metro to reach the hotel that was just too much. The metro lies deeper than what we are used to in Paris. The agitation and the walk from one escalator to another did not suit them. When they arrived at the hotel, they were exhausted. From then on, we always took the taxi and we would recommend it. You arrive more rapidly to your destination (incredible with all these traffic jams), it doesn’t cost that much, there were 4 of us anyway, and most of all my parents found it so cool, so typically British. For weeks after, my parents could not stop talking about that trip to London. It goes to show that every problem has its solution and that it doesn’t need to be expensive.

Disappointed by Chinatown
|
|
What was supposed to be the high point of our 3rd trip to London was very disappointing. We wanted to eat Chinese-style but this is merely an average food factory. After having walked through the neighbourhood twice looking for a nice place, we thought that we had found something good, but the tables were disgusting, and the staff unfriendly. We were supposed to gulp down our food to leave the place to other clients. London is beautiful but the food is always disappointing so we usually stick to fast-food places.
