We decided to take advantage of our last day with an Oyster card and go down to the Borough Market, which is like a GIANT Davis Farmers Market and is right near the Globe (I resisted stopping by to say hello). I had a meat pie, which was on my list of things to do. It was delicious. And the weather cleared up a little for us which was nice. Afterwards we went a little further south to the Imperial War Museum. The area wasn't the nicest, in fact it's the only time I've felt a little uncomfortable my whole time here in London. It also didn't help that the clouds descended right when we got off the Tube. We were together though so we were fine.
The museum was awesome, definitely worth the trip. A little heavy, as you can imagine. The Holocaust exhibit was particularly depressing. But they had some really cool old war memorabilia and some interactive exhibits that were neat. They had one that was like walking through a real World War I trench, and another one that felt like being inside a bunker during the Blitz in WWII. Really interesting. That'd been on my list since the first day so I was glad to finally check it out.
Nicole and Matt went out to dinner with his family so I went and explored the area. It is very odd being on the entire opposite end of the city. It doesn't really feel like the same city, at all. Like I feel like I've begun an entirely new trip. Which I guess I sort of have, just a much shorter one.
Pray that it doesn't rain tomorrow as I move yet again. Not quite that far this time, but still not my favorite way to spend a morning. Still, I'm here!
