Other London Sights

We did not spend our time in London just eating at Fat Duck of course. Yvonne and I made the the obligatory first-time visit to the London Eye,



and attended a performance of the "The Mousetrap" now in its 58th year (and found out why we never bothered before).



Also, we all turned up at the Beatles' London Walk that toured sites made famous by the Group, and walked the famous pedestrian crossing at Abbey Road.

The Fat Duck experience

After watching the TV series, we decided that we have to try out the real thing. Two months ahead, we secured a table at The Fat Duck. The restaurant is located at Bray, not far from Maidenhead to the west of London.

We were glad that Heston Blumenthal's restaurant lived up to its fine reputation. The 14 dishes were full of surprises and fun and the service was excellent. There was not just creative foods but also accompaniment of complementary fragrances and sounds. In one dish, the "Sound of the Sea", an iPod was provided to each of us, carefully hidden in a large shell, to provide accompanying sounds.

It was an unforgettable experience.
