Today A and I caught a boat from Waterloo Pier, just by the London Eye, down to Greenwich, through which the Prime Meridian passes. The weather was stunning, if a little bracing (yes, I will stop moaning about the cold soon!). Trip down the river took about an hour. Great to see the sights of London from the Thames. Once in Greenwich we headed up to the Greenwich Observatory, site of the Prime Meridian where you can stand with one foot in the Eastern hemisphere and the other in the Western. If you can fight passed the other tourists that is. After that we headed down to check out the local markets, buying a few second hand books to stock the bookshelves in the new house. Rounded out the after noon with a pint in a local. Caught the boat back up river a bit after five. Awesome nighttime views as the boat headed back up the river. A great day. Maybe off to Brighton tomorrow, depending on how keen we are in the morning!
