As in Greenwich Mean Time. Yep, been there, done that. Although, I must say I was quite impressed. I didn’t think it will be any good. I was pleasantly surprised.
Before I go any further, let me tell you how difficult this challenge had been for me. I have been quite busy with work lately which has resulted in Carpal Tunnel syndrome to flare as well as my back ache is back. I still somehow managed to get to Greenwich this Friday before the weather took an ugly turn.
Since I have pain in my both hands, I am keeping typing to a minimum this time though i would have love to tell you stories about royal observatory, Maritime museum, Thames walk in Greenwich, Old Royal navy college, Cutty Sark and others. All I can do today is show you few of the snapshots of my exploration in that part of the town.
Above: Thames walk in Greenwich. You can see the O2 arena and part of Canary Wharf that forms part of London skyline.

Above: Maritime Museum. Yes they have Ansel Adams exhibit on at the moment. If my back wasn’t hurting as bad it was at that time, I wouldn’t have missed it. Never thought I will walk away from Ansel Adams exhibition. (Yes I cheated a bit on this one. It is not entirely black and white. Had to make sure that you can see the ship in the bottle.)
Finally, my favourite picture of the trip. This is an entrance to Greenwich foot tunnel which is a pedestrian tunnel crossing beneath River Thames. Yep, you heard me right. It is a pedestrian tunnel that goes under Thames river to the other side. It is an under-river bridge (I totally made up that word). Do you know the most amazing part? It was built in 1902! Amazing, huh? I had to write this one down. I was quite impressed by this.
Until next time. BTW, I would appreciate a few comments now and then. If you could please…
