Day 2 of London

(Originally Written April 4, 2015)

Day two was started by a big English breakfast at the Hotel and a couple of cups of tea. After gorging ourselves we went to Old Spitalfields Market and shopped around for lots of goodies and trinkets. It was a pretty neat place. After that we headed over to Hunterian Museum, which due to a massive underground fire was closed. At a loss we popped into The Ship Tavern to recalibrate and figure out what to do next. That being said, we did stumble upon "The Old Curiosity Shop" made famous by Charles Dickens.

At The Ship Tavern, I had my first Scotch Egg and my first Cask Ale - delish! After that we headed to Twinings Tea parlor, saw some really cool old buildings and I managed to break Erin's phone while we were searching for Temple Church. After a bit of mourning and bickering we headed over to Saint Paul's Cathedral, which was closed for some private event. From there we headed over the Thames and saw The Globe Theater and went into the gift shop. On the walking bridge we got our first glimpse of the London Bridge and Erin was attacked by a bird.

From there hoofed it over to the George Inn for fish & chips and more cask ale. After dinner, it was time to see Big Ben and the London Eye at night time, which was gorgeous. There was a desire to continue touring, but our feet wouldn't let us considering the 10-12 miles they had carried us, so we hopped on our first double decker bus and proceeded to get lost. Finally we found a tube station and made it back to our hotel.
