Hello again!
On day 9, Domi and I did a walk together, for he wanted to experience what I've been doing the last couple of days while he was at work.
So we decided to do walk 5 from the book called "Ein letzter Winkel Old England" (= "One last corner of Old England") which was a walk through St James and Mayfair, two beautiful parts in the heart of London.

You start at "
Piccadilly Circus" and end at "
Green Park".
After small problems at the beginning, not knowing in which direction we had to walk, we finally set off exploring St James, a part of London where you see a lot of
expensive and old shops, e.g. the shoe maker of the royal family, or the hat maker of the royal family. There were also a lot of arcades with small exclusive shops to see.
Furthermore, there are a lot of "
Gentlemen's Clubs" in the area of St James. Domi and I even met an old man on the street, who asked us if we needed any help, and he showed us where some of the Gentlemen's clubs are.
That's what I love about English people, or people in London: They actually just randomly walk up to you and ask if you need help or advice!
This won't happen in Germany..

clubs where you can find Prince Harry and Prince William partying!
