Market, Penguins and Shakespeare

We wandered around Borough Market (aka London's Larder) which turned out to be a lot closer than we'd thought. Dodging the rain, we saw artisan breads, organic meats and vegetables.

Afterwards we headed to the London Aquarium which is a underneath the Thames. They've recently added a penguin exhibit (so cute but they wouldn't let us take one!).

That night we went to the rebuilt Shakespare's Globe to watch 'Much Ado About Nothing'. We made the good choice to hire cushions - as a faithful rebuild it's as uncomfortable as the original and has some poorly placed columns. That said, it was an amazing experience to see Shakespeare where it was originally performed. You get the choice of standing (cheap) or sitting (still cheap). The performance was good, fun actors and lots of laughing. A great experience.
