The Royal Borough of Greenwich

Comfortable shoes and a taste for maritime history is mandatory when visiting Greenwich.  The Royal Navy College, Cutty Sark, the Queen's House, the Maritime Museum, the Greenwich Market, and the Royal Observatory are only a few of the sights to visit on this side of the Thames.  On a Friday morning I took supposedly the "fastest boat on the Thames", the Thames clipper, from the Tower of London to Greenwich.  Cutty Sark was there to greet me in all her shining glory.  Cutty Sark was one of the fastest british ships used in the tea trade, built in 1869.  I then wandered over to the Royal Navy College, and spent a good chunk of time admiring the architecture and the landscaping.  Next was the Greenwich Market (loved it!), and then the Queen's House for a quick brush up on royal history and an art exhibit.  After spending the whole day in Greenwich, I had only covered half of what I wanted to see.  So I came back the next day with Sara; I still didn't see it all.  Yet another place I will have to go back to another day...
