Struggling to think of something to do on Sunday, out flatmate (Kate) suggested we go down and look around Greenwich, it is only about a 20-30 min walk from our flat. The weather was a tad 'iffy' so as we arrived in Greenwich it started to rain, so we dove into an undercover Sunday market. Just your normal array market goods, over priced junk, which as Kate said before we left, "You'll regret anything you buy". We did not buy anything.
As the rain slowed to drizzle, we made towards the Thames. There is a tunnel, which links Greenwich to the Isle of the Dogs. It was made about 100 years ago which is quite impressive for an under river tunnel.
Once we had walked under the river, looked around and come back under the tunnel, we had a whirlwind trip around the Greenwich navel museum. We are going to go back to have a good look around. It was getting late and I really wanted to see the Royal Observatory, which is basically the home of all time. It is situated on sizeable hill, which gives good vistas of the surrounding areas. There is a lot of history in the observatory regarding time and navigation. It was interesting to read some of the history of time and stand on both the East and Western hemispheres.
