Covent Garden

[Sunday 8th July]
Somehow or other we came upon the idea of going to Covent Garden today. It's not an area of London I go to very often (being a bit touristy etc), but I had a strange desire to go and visit Neal's Yard, and buy some seaweed shampoo.

As it turned out Neal's Yard was a bit of a disappointment - the seaweed shampoo was rather on the steep side, and apparently the cheese shop is closed on a Sunday (no, that wasn't a backup plan for shampoo, I just happened to want to go there as well).

However, while we were there we took advantage of our location, and on discovering a mutual craving for beer and chips, decided to have lunch at Belgo Centraal, which was jolly nice. I had a salad and some chips, and Chie had moules frites. It turns out she doesn't actually like mussels all that much, but it just seems to be the done thing in a Belgian place.

We actually walked back home - we can walk from the very central bits (Leicester Square, Picadilly Circus etc) to our flat in about 45 minutes which is rather handy. Although today we took a pretty roundabout route, and stopped off at a couple of places en route.

Dinner was fresh pasta, bought from Marks and Spencer - and very nice it was too.

You could have bought a cheese shampoo instead! :D
