Yesterday, myself and the always-up-for-something-touristy Luke decided to head out. After considering our choices, we went with a boat trip up to Greenwich. London had put on another spectacularly mediocre day which had us both periodically reaching for our umbrellas (but not actually needing them). After hopping off the boat, we headed up to the Royal Observatory which is where good old, GMT is based. After doing a couple of the tacky shots standing on the line (see above for mine... nb: the over the top coat for a summer's day).
After leaving the observatory, we stalked a squirrel around the park before going for a wander through Greenwich village. We somehow stumbled in a really cute little antiques market where I managed to find (well, Luke found).... U2's Joshua Tree album on vinyl! I immediately snapped it up for the bargain price of 5 pound. Not long afterwards, I spotted a gorgeous fur coat - a steal at 40 pounds. I resisted out of fear for my life should the animal lovers of london society spot me.
Afterwards, we stumbled upon a curiously named restaurant called 'Spread Eagle'. Enough said. We then wandered through some more markets and marvelled at the gorgeous breads, cakes and fruit and vegies on sale at the market. Having had enough shopping, we hit the pub for some fish n chips and a beer before heading home.
A very cool time (PUN AGAIN!) was had by all (errr both). More to come soon.
