Borough Market -Day 9

  1. Went to Kew Gardens. 
  2. Stole a shit ton of napkins from the Kew Gardens bar because I had an unfathomable amount of snot. 
  3. We went to Diagon Alley/Leadenhall Market, for a quick walk through. There was a perfect people watching spot at a restaurant that overlooked the center of the market through an upstairs window. It might be worth it just to come back to try and get that table. 
  4. We also took a quick walking tour to see the Monument of The Great Fire of London. Next door to this monument there is a restaurant called The Hydrant, and they have slushies of all kinds…must come back. 
  5. We finally headed to Borough Market, and the place was popping. It was packed, you could barely move through the spaces with food comfortably let alone find a place to sit and eat. 
  6. There was one thing I wanted to try while at Borough Market and it was the viral chocolate covered strawberries. 
  7. Borough Market was filled with Slushie Options!! Alcoholic and non! This was the place for a fun summer treat!
  8. I found a great guilty pleasure TV show on British cable called I Kissed a Boy. Think Love Island meets a Queer version of the Bachelor (Happy Pride!).

As you can tell our daily list of 10 things that happened during our day is not completed and there is a reason for that…as soon as I got to Borough Market I started to feel unwell. I thought maybe if I just eat and sit down for a little I will be revived but I was wrong. I ate 4 chips and 2 bites of Fish, and got to eat one of the strawberries that I had been counting the days until I could get, when I knew I had to get back to the hotel ASAP or Borough Market would be a place that I would never ever want to return to. Thankfully I made it back to the hotel, and well I’ll spare you the details…you’re welcome. I was down for the count, I ended up not being able to make it to the show Punchdrunk, that we had planned later that night either. And I was really looking forward to that, don’t you worry your pretty little head though I am feeling much better today and I will make up for the lost time in some way, shape, or form. And I will have to go back to Borough Market to just have the strawberries, just maybe this time I will avoid the fish and chips.
