April 11, a day off in London

4月11日(火)ロンドンでオフ
毎日虫に刺されて痒い今日この頃。さて、今日も最初はインタビューあるはずだったけど日が変更になり、ロンドンでオフ。ランチは少し奮発してステーキ。これから始まる英国ツアーに備えてパワーを付ける為。
I got bug bite everyday recently. By the way, an interview was planned on this day but it moved to other day. It became a day off in London. I had beef steak for lunch extravagantly. We had to put “power” to ourselves.



こちらのお店は元は教会だったそう。
The place of this restraint used to a church.



お肉を切った所。付け合わせもたくさん付いていて、堪能した。お腹いっぱい。
I cut the steak. Many vegetables on the side and I was contented. So full.



りさちゃんは、お買い物へ。あつこさんと私は、Fashion and Textile Museum へ行くべくロンドンブリッジ行きのバスに乗り込む。こんな所通った。
Risa went shopping. Atsuko and I took a ride of double decker bound for London Bridge to go to Fashion and textile Museum. Passing through here.



ロンドンブリッジ駅到着。こちらがFashion and Textile Museum。
And arrived at London Bridge Station. This is Fashion and Textile Museum.




今はウォーホルの生地の展示期間。
Andy Warhol’s textile exhibition was held this time.



入場料12ポンドしたけど、展示は少なめ。
The entrance fee was GBP 12 but there was not so many exhibitions.



外に出てロンドン橋の方へ行くとこのようなタワーがあった。The Shirdと言うらしい。上るのに32ポンドもかかるらしいので、パス。
There was a glass tower like this when I walked toward to London Bridge. It is named The Shird. It needs GBP 32 for going up to the top. It is too expensive and I didn’t enter it.



ロンドン橋へやって来たよ。
I came to London Bridge.




向こうの方にタワーブリッジが見える。

今日は、雨風強く、とても寒い。最悪のお天気。そそくさと地下鉄に乗り、昭和なテイストの喫茶店へ。
It was rain and windy today. It was also sooooo cold. Bad weather. Atsuko and I took a ride of underground and went to a retro taste cafe.

カフェラテ飲んで、濃いキャラメルケーキ食べた。
I had cafe latte and thick caramel cake.



メニューカラフル。何かここのお店ずっと前に入ったかも知れん。店内ドア開けっぱなしで激寒。
Colorful menu. I’m sure that I have been here before. The door was left open. So cold inside.




そこから極寒の中、徒歩でバーリントンアーケード通って、デパートでトイレ借りつつ、SIMカード買いに行った。SIMカード、ThreeからO2に変わった。
In bad weather, I walked through Burlington arcade, dropped some department to use toilets and went to buy SIM card. My SIM card was changed from Three to O2.

バスを2回乗り継いで宿まで帰還。ああ寒かった〜。部屋で、晩御飯にドーナツ1個食べた。
We took 2 different bus lines and went back to the hotel. Ah, so cold. I had a donut as my dinner.
