Borough Market

Hello Everyone!!!! It has been so long since I last posted. Lots of things have happened since my last post. I had my first class, in which we toured alongside the Thames. At the very end we arrived at Borough market.Which was amazing! Here are some pictures of my adventure that day.

 I could see the London Eye from afar, and Big Ben too!

 This was a weird red building that looked kind of neat to me :)

 These fish sculptures were on every lamp post

 We got a little bored in class so we decided to take a selfie ;)

 Its the Millennium Bridge (also known as the wobbly bridge because the first time they released it the amount of foot traffic caused the bridge to wobble so bad that they had to shut it down and redo it!)

 The Globe!!! I had a mini spaz attack when I saw it!

 Another selfie by the river :D

And we arrived at Borough Market! Hungry and tired I dove into a duck wrap with plum sauce. Then cooled off with the below drink, which was cocoa and hibiscus tea. It was oddly delicious.

 This is the restaurant where the tea came from

 One other group member got fish and chips, YUM

 Here is some duck wrap :)

 And then there was this amazing thing. The picture below was the best doughnut I have ever EVER had. It was their vanilla one, freshly baked. You could see the flecks of vanilla bean throughout the filling which felt like a rich custard type wonderfulness. I will be going back just for this doughnut alone.

 Eggs everywhere!

 This lovely gentleman was making paella from a huge pan. It was delicious too!

 The same vendor also had a curry, which was so spicy and wonderful!

So many meat pies!!!!

 These were adorable owl cookies, this vendor was really nice and struck up a wonderful conversation about their cookies. I ended up purchasing one that tasted like cinnamon perfection.

My time at Borough market was much too short. But I left there a happier person than when I had arrived. This place is an amazing spot for food of all kinds. All of which are fresh and amazing. 

Until next time where I will discuss a fabulous visit to the Harry Potter film studios!

Love you all!

Hello Everyone!

It has been a good while since I updated my Blog and I want to show you all what I have done since then. Here is a look at my first few days in London!

I left on Wednesday the 3rd

And arrived on Thursday the 4th

 I had a terrible time getting to my apartment. Unlike the streets in the states, many of the streets don't have signs on the street corner, they have them on the second floor of a building nearby the street corner. So it was definitely confusing, and the buses won't stop if they don't think anyone has to get off there, so they blew by my stop, it was a bit of a crazy, anxiety ridden time. New places, new people, new sights and smells. I did eventually find my place, and got all settled in. 

This was a view of Buckingham Palace as I drove past in my taxi :)

 Next Day:

I woke up pretty late, but my sleep was good (as I was super duper tired). All of the roomies and I were up and moving by 1:00 UK time. We decided to do a bit of exploring! So we traveled down to the Marble Arch. And then worked our way through Oxford Street.

Then we visited some shops, below are some pictures of all the fun things we saw.

This was a neat eyelashes display

 

 We found a fancy hat display

 Fancy sparkly shooes!

 Annnnd here is a weird shoe with a Lamb for a heel....

 And a blury hippo and rhinoceros  (Sorry about the blurriness)

That's all for today folks!!! This post was super short because we are going out shortly, but hopefully I will have more pictures for you! Talk to you soon!!!
