Watery ways

With Jill in tow we headed in to London proper to organise a few things. We decided to walk around a bit, so walked across London Tower Bridge, which to me is the most iconic of landmarks.

Weather has been on and off with a dozen seasons in one day!

Ambled past The Tower which is only a couple of minutes, and as you can see the sun was back out in full!

Enjoying the bit of sunshine we decided to catch the ferry back down the river, so climbed aboard the quick cat, which gives a completely different perspective of the city.

Under the bridge this time and took in the sites past Surrey Quays and Canary Wharf back to Greenwich. Ony 17 minutes and was really nice.

Disembarked at Greenwich, and quickly showed Jill where the painted hall is as part of the the old naval home designed by Christopher Wren.

The site was originally the Kings Palace and was where Henry and Lizzie were actually born. From there we wandered through the markets, which are being rebuilt, and made our way home after an enjoyable day out and about.

We are going into town today to meet some friends of Jills, and have lunch. I am meeting a mate from Manchester who is in town later tonight so things could get messy. Cheers for now.
