Slow Travel

When Niki and I headed out for the first leg of our Gap Year travels, we were hoping to experience that unique sense of exploration that can only really occur with slow travel.  Here we are, in our 5th week in Europe, and we are learning about London in the most wonderful way.   The photos below are from an area of South West London called Mortlake.  It's a beautiful place, but with limited time you would never see it.   Slow travel allows you to meet people and experience their local places.  We are fortunate.  Smile. 

Can you believe this is taken in London on the Thames?

A lovely path along the river.

Cool courtyard cafe.

Vine covered trellis in the entry.

Seriously.... is this really London?  Feels like Spain or Mexico or Italy.
