Saturday came, and we had to move, We said our goodbyes to Etta, she was a good host. We packed the Suitcases and Packs, Surprising it all fitted in. Just as well, as it looks like we could be heading back to Australia in 3 weeks.
We wheeled the suitcases to the train station and off we went. We had arranged a place in an area called Hornsey. And Archway was the nearest Station, I only meant changing trains once. We made it. The room is small but the bed is better than the last one, and the shower is good. But it is on the 3rd floor, up a very tight Stairway, guess who had to carry each bag up to the room. By the time I finished my 3rd Trip up the stiarsI felt like I would have had a heart attack, If it wasn't for the fact I had lost 30Kg last year, I probably would have. Once in the room we quick left, it was Saturday and Jennifer only day to travel, this time it was the National Art Gallary.
We happened to get there just as the World Women's March arrived. But we got in just as they closed the doors. It meant the number of people in the gallery was smaller than normal.
But it was chance to see modern art, this one painted in 1550's
Or this one painted in the 1660's
But it was finding the Turner Paintings
I found John Constables work again, was able to show Jennifer the details in it.
Like the boys Fishing
or the rider that was resting.
Or the Haywern that was in NO rush.
John Constable is a great painter and as I get to know his works, the more I like them.
After this we headed outside avoiding the March, so head up to Chinatown
China Town is preparing for Chinese New Year, of course.
We then dropped back down to Piccidilyand the barriers were away from the monument.
The food stores looked great.
And to finish the day
Jennifer was able to have her picture taken with Nelsons Lions.
