Friday
'Proper hamburgers' read the lettering on the window of a restaurant near Greenwich Pier. Sounded good to me. Well, it may have been proper but it was just ok, nothing special.
If I'd known how easy it is to catch a ferry boat on the Thames, I might not have bothered with the train. From Greenwich the fare was £6, if I remember correctly. Here too, the Oyster Card can be used.
Maybe this was the bridge I'd walked over the other day.
Poor light and dirty windows make for less-than-exciting pictures. But what a trip this must be on a nice summer day.
The boat docked near the London Eye, on the other side of the river.
Ha, the guy is dressed up with 'blood' on his face and a noose around his neck and everyone walks by as if it's business as usual.
Not surprisingly, lots of tourists are in this area.
I had an enjoyable walk across the bridge while the bells rung six times. The chiming brought back memories of Diana's funeral. But on this day there was an energetic, festive feeling - even the bridge was crowded with people.
The Houses of Parliament are such a grand sight in person.
Alas, it's getting on, the light is fading and I've a long way to go to get back to the hotel.
