The city of James Bond & Rock 'n Roll...London!!!

The whole day we were busy with work. As usual I am bound by confidentialty, but what I can tell you that it's very interesting. Through a head hunting agency, I arranged some interviews with ground staff from U2 and FR, while Freddy did the same with pilots and cabin crew and Grietje studied the business models of the low cost carriers at the Chamber of Commerce.

Of course it was not all work. We also decided to spend the rest of the day sightseeing in London. We all have been to London many times before.... I always come in the summer for the Caribbean Carnival in Nottinghill. London is very popular among the Dutch for what they call a "steden trip". Personally I like it better than Paris and Brussels.

So this is what we did:

We had lunch at Subway in Earl's Court, right across the hotel

Then we took the London Underground to Victoria

At Victoria

At Victoria we went shopping at a famous warehouse: Harrods! Known for that crazy Dodi Al-Fayed/Mohammed Al-Fayed.

I bought myself some stuff for the winter. The brand Burberry is in style this year in Holland... so this is what I bought for myself:



A Burberry shirt





Burberry winter coat, scarf, winter bonnet and cigarette holder

Friend D. in Aruba is one of my best friends and he asked me to buy a wallet and cigarette holder from Louis Vuitton for him. I spent almost 300 Pounds in Harrods! Thank God for Master Card!

Me just acting crazy by myself

After Harrods we went to Oxford Street to browse the stores and get something to drink at Starbucks Coffee.

Hmmmm... mocha Frapuccino iced coffee

We went back to the hotel did some more work and later in the evening we went downstairs in the hotel restaurant to have some coffee to drink and discuss tomorrows tasks.

Afterwards we said goodbye and went to our rooms..... of course I had to go to the internet center to quickly post this blog.

Voyez-vous bientôt!
