Sundays are a great day to explore.Last Sunday John did a fantastic job planning our day and charting new territory. (I will praise him profusely so that he keeps doing it.)
We didn't plant any flags to claim new land as ours, but we did check things out.
We started with Little Venice in the Paddington area.
The canals were very peaceful and serene and we felt like we had discovered a secret little hideaway.
Ducks and swans slowly meandered nibbling the green algae on the water's surface.
I will confess, compared to our pristine crystal clear glacier waters around Calgary, the green water is a bit disconcerting.
From there we took a slow cruise on a canal boat to Camden Markets.
To say that Camden Markets was a direct contrast to the peacefulness of the canals is an understatement. It was packed and full of hustle and bustle. There were lots of tents showcasing food, fruits and veggies, crafts, leather goods, jewelry, restaurants, history and all kinds of interesting stuff.
In the historic Stables Market we found the newly installed statue of Amy Winehouse.
A few interesting characters.
One of the joys of living somewhere new, is that everywhere we go is an exploration of discovery.
