Greenwich

Back Up

Bill and Lyn rode a train from Tower Bridge to Greenwich.  Bill thought it would be a long train ride, but no -- just a couple of stops and we were there.

Here's Lyn enjoying the cold, damp day just outside the Royal Maritime Museum.  See that funny-shaped little building on the hill in the background?  That's the Royal Observatory, site of the Prime Meridian.

Last view of the funny little observatory.  It's also home of the famous Harrison Clocks.  Never heard of them?  Well, click on this, then:  John Harrison, Father of the Chronometer
