Chris, Thames, Greenwich

Great weekend started out with our friend Chris visiting from California. Just went out for few drinks with his sister from Scotland.

 Saturday, we did the Parkland walk.

It's an abandoned rail way converted to a jogging path through a few North London boroughs. It's beautiful, lush and leafy, but the interesting parts are when you get to the train platforms along the way. How they must have looked 100 years ago bustling with activity, and now overgrown with vegetation.

 Sunday was something I can't believe I've gone this long without doing.  Mo arranged for us to take a ferry boat down the Thames to Greenwich. Along the way, great views of BB, St Pauls, Shard.

In Greenwich, went to the Naval Museum, saw the Cutty Sark (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutty_Sark), relaxed with a picnic lunch with Albert, and of course stood on 0* longitude.
