Little Venice... a peaceful walk!!!


A sunny Sunday after a quiet Saturday night what to do? Well between the thousand and thousand of things  that you can do in London, today I want to tell you about one in particular. No it is not to bungee jumping from Tower Bridge or to climb the Shard. It's simply an healthy and wonderful walk in a fabulous  neighbourhood far away from the crowded city centre. Was my first trip alone to discover the city. My mobile wasn't smart enough, so backpack on the shoulders, map in one hand and camera in the other one. The footpath starts from Paddington and and since the beginning you can feel a peaceful emotion surrounding you. It's nice to see the colourful houseboat and the life that is going on. Walking down the canal at a certain point there is the heart of Little Venice the canal enlarge and that's the place where you can have a break drinking a cup of coffee, looking swans and other canal bird life. By the way there is even a lovely Muppet's theatre that is running shows several time a day.
Time to keep walking, but please check the right direction don't do like me that after some miles I realised that I was going outside London. Anyway I walk back. The next part of the footpath was on Regent Canal passing through some marvellous mansion. The landscape is absolutely awesome and there is the possibility to have a stop to the zoo in Regent Park. Walking walking you can feel that the air is becoming vibrant, and you can smell multiculturality. Yes, the silence you were surrounded by is smoothly leaving but why? Welcome to Camden Town!!! but this one is another story...
