Two Swiss in London

When I got to know that our friend Ursina and her nephew Valentin would come to London for a long weekend, I did my best to find a suitable place for dinner. Ursina is the sister of Anina, a friend of us Günter met in Mannheim during the Schiller Festival in 1990.

On Friday, Günter and I met up with them in an Italian restaurant offering great views onto Tower Bridge, The Tower, HMS Belfast, the City and Canary Wharf.

We were pretty much impressed by that 11-year-old who's so keen on getting to know the city and its museums, who's also brave enough to go on a trip with his aunt despite his upcoming birthday and who even had a chat with the waiter in Italian.

We just had a couple of wonderful Luxemburgerli for tea, Ursina and Valentin had brought with them - handmade by Sprüngli in Zurich.
