The day after Christmas, 26 December, is a national holiday in England known as Boxing Day. Historically, this was the day where people, more typically the wealthy, would put together boxes full of gifts and give them to their servants, employees, and the less fortunate. In modern times, it is a day off of work for many people and a huge shopping day for the masses. I spent my boxing day being lazy and relaxing.
This week, the hostel became a whole new place, as there was a huge turnover of people and many new people moved in. I spent some time getting to know a few of them over the past few days. One day, Ami, Steve (a more recent addition to the hostel), and I went to check out Saint Paul's Cathedral and the crack at the Tate Modern.
the Millenium Bridge,
and Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.
We wandered a bit more along the River Thames exploring and becoming more familiar with the area. We also crossed London Bridge,
Tower Bridge,
and walked around the outside of the Tower of London.
