To Greenwich and back

Had a great today with Jaime. We took the tube to Westminster and a river cruise down to Greenwich. The Shard speared the clouds, the Olympic rings hung from the Tower Bridge and the Golden Hind hid away in dry dock. We walked through Greenwich Village, through a covered market and around some carefully preserved streetscapes. We walked up the hill past where well-muscled Polish workers were erecting the equestrian arena for the Games to the Observatory. A great view back down the river and over Greenwich Palace is slightly marred by the Games facilities being placed there. However,since the arena seems to be made of fridge packing and bread crates, it will all come apart easily. The Maritime Museum was really impressive: the boy stuff absorbed Jaime while I went off to see the Royal Rivers exhibition. We met Reena in a pub called the North London Tavern and some ales (Golden Arrow) was supped. Great day! Love and hugs
