London - Day 5
We started out Sunday at Speaker's Corner, and some of the same speakers from years ago were still there! I guess it's a regular Sunday-morning engagement!
Now start the fun things I had never done before! Up to this point, we were mostly just reminiscing, scoping out the old haunts where we used to hang out, etc. First, we walked past the Animals in War memorial (picture 1), which I had no idea was even there before!
Then we headed out to Greenwich. We walked all of the National Maritime Museum, and you were even allowed to take pictures in a couple of the galleries (pictures 2 and 3). Then we climbed the big hill to stand on the Prime Meridian. Those are my feet in the fourth picture! There was a crazy long line of people waiting to have their picture taken, so we just jumped in quickly for a shot of our feet, and skipped the rest.
The view back down towards the Maritime Museum was lovely, with Canary Wharf and the Isle of Dogs in the background (picture 5).
We found ourselves near the Houses of Parliament again that evening, which looked lovely with the sun in the west (picture 6).
