I did not have the same experience at Borough Market as everyone else. I instantly lost Alex and whoever was with him and so I wondered with Madison as she looked for the bathroom. We walked for about 20-30 minutes (or that is what it felt like at least.) and as we walked I started to get overwhelmed and began to feel sick. I was hungry and we were walking around all these amazing food places but I knew that the moment any food touched my tongue I would throw up… so I did not eat while I was there but I did buy a big cookie and brownie that I ate later on in the day after I felt better.
Think that I felt so bad because there were so many people and so many new smells and I was just really overwhelmed by it all. Madison and I left way before everyone else which was nice because I needed to get out of there and I got some time to myself in the hotel room.
Before heading back to the hotel Madison and I went shopping and I finally got nail clippers, shampoo, and conditioner. I was finally able to clean my hair properly instead of just the hotel hair stuff. I was also able to clip my nails, which had grown longer than they had been in a while.
Later we went to a strange theatrical experience called Punch Drunk. We had to walk around this dark maze of rooms where actors dance. They made me check my bag in the cloakroom so the Paddington on my backpack did not get to see the “show.”
The performance was not great but it was super interesting to be in the area and walk through the dark halls. The set and technical aspects of the show were far superior to the acting and dancing. I do not have any photos because they locked up our phones in a little bag that we wore around our necks.
