Went on a boat ride up the Thames river starting at Westminster and ending at Greenwich yesterday. At Greenwich you can visit the prime meridian but as of two months ago it started costing 10 pounds to get in. All of us found that price to be too steep so we passed it up and walked around the observatory for a little while. There was an awesome navel chapel and mess hall though. Really, the best part about traveling to Greenwich was the boat ride. The architecture of buildings along the Thames was absolutely astounding. In addition, the gentleman on the mic pointing things out had a fantastic sense of humor making the ride all the more enjoyable.
This morning Dr. Gritta told us he was going to take us on a walk to a market. We walked for nearly four hours. The market was pretty cool. All the shops were in old horse stables so it made for a cool ambiance. We walked past Lord's Cricket, Abbey Road and the Beatles original recording house, Paul McCartney's house, and a peaceful little canal. All said it was a nice morning, but I wasn't really expecting the amount of walking that we did when we woke up.
Apparently we are going to a big store today which is good. I have a number of little things I need to pickup, like a razor, that I don't seem to be able to get at the local Tesco Express. Right, well I'm out for now.
Cheerio
