I got a good 11.5 hours of sleep last night, which was so nice. Breakfast was a bit dazed then we started watching a movie, but we didn't finish it because we decided to go look for a market that was close by. Our whole flat went and we had fun. We found the market but it was already closed, so we kept walking and found the London Wall. It is part of the original Roman wall, and it was neat.
There was a fairly large portion of the wall left and we got to walk around and explore it. We found a frozen pond by the wall, it is cold in London right now.
Then we decided to go to St. Paul's Cathedral since we were close. That was cool, but we didn't go inside because you had to pay and we weren't ready to do that.
We continued wandering around and crossed the Millennium Bridge. Then we stumbled upon the Globe Theater and we went into the entry way, mostly to warm up since there wasn't a lot to see without paying for a tour. Then we ran into our teachers and they pointed us toward a market that was open. It was a nice large market and it was encouraging to go somewhere with lots of food choices for cheaper prices. We got some food there and it was delicious.
We were really getting cold by then. The weather was foggy and I think it was below freezing all day. When we were walking across the Millennium Bridge, it started snowing! Of course, it didn't stick to the ground and was just some little flakes, but still it was cold enough to snow. After the market, we decided to head back to our flat. We walked across the London Bridge on the way back and decided we didn't want to walk all the way back since we were all really cold. So we bought our oyster cards and rode the Tube for the first time.
We made it back to our flat and unpacked and got organized, finally. Plus, it was nice to be warm again.
