The Tower of London and Borough Market - Rachel Van Deventer

Today I went to The Tower of London and to Borough Market. The Tower of London was amazing! It was a fortress for the royals for a long time and also held prisoners. I saw and learned about the ways of torture and devices. I saw the Royal Jewels and they were breath taking! Unfortunately, no photographs are allowed of the jewels but I must say that there was a diamond on a crown that was at least the size of a clementine! The tower of London was extremely interesting and I learned so much!

After the Tower of London, a group of us went to Borough Market. This market sold a lot of produce and special cheeses and meats. There was also cooked food and lots of desserts! I had a lamb sandwich with mint jelly. It sure was different but not bad. I also shared a piece of carrot and roasted hazelnut cake.....AMAZING! I am tired after exploring all day but I can't wait to see more of London later tonight!

This device crushed people to death, gross, but cool!
