London - July 9th


Late morning, everyone slept in which is really a good thing. Had a leisurely breakfast of peanut butter toast and then off we went.

The first stop of the day was the Borough Market. There was so much food on

display it was mind boggling. Many we passing out samples as well and it was fun walking around

looking and tasting as we went. Had lunch here as well. The bratwurst I had was scrumptious and Bonnie had an ostrich burger that she said was delicious as well.


Once lunch was done we wandered over to the Globe Theatre. Neil had purchased yard tickets for Ann Boleyn. We got there a little early so we could be up next to the stage and have something to lean on for the three plus hours of the play. The play was excellent and we only got a few sprinkles of ran. In my opinion it's the best 5£ you can spend in London. I would highly recommend any play at the globe you can get to. Standing in the yard is okay, not great, but okay.

From the Globe we hiked over to George's Wine Bar. This place was recommended by Ian. It was very busy both inside and out.

We got a bottle of white wine and had it outside sharing a table with four other ladies. They were very gracious. The wine was okay and the pause in walking was good. It would have been better if we could have sat down.


From there we went to an Indian restaurant for dinner. The food was very good but the atmosphere and the presentation were really bad. But the food was quite good and

inexpensive by London standards.

From there we headed back home and some rest for the remainder of the evening. Of course there wasn't much left.
