After the cathedral, we hopped back on the bus and headed to the Borough Market. My friend told me to look out for Monmouth Coffee
just outside of the Market. Monmouth makes single cone filter coffees and espresso based drinks. I was going to stop by, but the line to get in was wrapped around the corner, so I ended up not having any.The Borough Market is London's most famous food market. It has fabulous foods, produce and vendors. It was fund to explore and venture around the Market. Since this was Easter weekend, it was a little crowded, but still enjoyable. It was fun to taste all the different types of cheeses. At this one vendor called Roast, Diane had a Pork Belly Sandwich and I had a Sausage Egg Roll? It was an egg, wrapped in sausage and deep fried. I'm drooling just thinking of it again. Quite yum. There were lots of floral vendors, fresh oyster shucking and a pig head to boot. Interesting to say the least.
After the market, we ventured to the Tower of London. We were able to catch the Yeoman Warder's tour. The Yeoman Warder's aka Beefeaters are required to have served in the armed forces for at least 22 years. We waited in line waited in line for an hour to get a glimpse
of the Crown Jewels. The diamonds were sparkly and large. Worth the wait? To me yes. 😊 After the Crown Jewels, we did a quick run thru of the White Tower. The White Tower had an exhibition/display of the Royal Armouries. Lastly, we were able to just get in and see the instruments of torture before it closed. All in all, a good visit with the Tower.We had bought some cheese at the Market, so for dinner we had bread and cheese. Not very green, but yummy nonetheless.
