Greenwich

Today we went on a ferry to Greenwich. There were police on the ferry. We got a picture with them and Holly got to wear a police hat.

We saw the London Eye. It was huge and you get to stand up in the carriages. It looked cool.

We went past the Tower of London and under the Tower Bridge.


When we got to Greenwich we went to a museum called the Observatory. We saw a big red ball go up into the air and then come down again at 1 o'clock.
It sets the time around the whole world.

We had our picture taken on a line.  It is the meridian line which is the middle of the world.  We put one foot on one side the other on the other side.  One foot is in the Eastern Hemisphere and one foot is in the Western Hemisphere.



We had lunch in a pie shop with mushy peas and apple crumble with custard. It was delicious.


We walked through a tunnel that goes right under the river Thames. People were rolling skating in there.


We went to the train station and we caught a train where we could sit right at the front because there is no driver.  It is awesome because you can see what the driver could see.
