London Day 2 - Sightseeing


This morning I started quite lazily getting my laundry ready and sending a parcel of brochures and small things back to Canberra. (More room in suitcase for Europe) ;pI then caught the tube to Borough markets (wow, amazing). There were little stores of different produce and tasters everywhere. I tried different cheese (pic just for you chief editor!), mushroom pâté and prinns. I also brought a Kate and Sidney pie (pic below). It had British beef, steak and kidney with fresh herb and ale served with, mushy peas, potato and gravy. I also had 3 oysters which were from Devon, they were beautiful the best I have every had. I wanted to buy and eat more  but I could not fit it in. 
From there I walked to London bridge, tower bridge and London tower. I went into the London tower and did a tour with the Tudor but there were so many people that I didn't walk into the buildings or line up for the crown of jewels. To tell you the truth I was stuffed and the crowds were huge.
Off to London Eye, it was nice but I don't think I would be in a rush to come back.
Back on the tube again and off to the theatre to see War Horse at the new London theatre in Covent gardens. Great production, the horses were amazing and how they moved to tell the story, congratulations to the puppeteers!! I really enjoyed but my favourite is still 'Wicked'. Last night in London Xxo Chix
