Yesterday I finally visited
one place I have wanted to see since I arrived in London: Greenwich Park to see
the Prime Meridian.
This is one of those times
where I learned that traveling somewhere can actually be more fun than the
place itself. A friend went with me, and of course we got lost trying to get
from the underground to the overground. Then when we arrived in Greenwich we
struggled to figure out where we were supposed to go.
After just sort of wondering
around and following where the crowds of people were going, we found it. Because
according to the website, Greenwich, one of the capital’s eight Royal Parks, is
visited by millions of tourists and locals.
Well, we found the park, and
saw that one the opposite end the Royal Observatory was situated on the top of
a steep hill. We made it up the hill and stayed for about five minutes. Long
enough to see it and snap a photo of course.
Something I have learned
while I have been here is that getting lost in London is half the fun. Finding
your way around the city is the best part. Difficult, but so much fun.
Especially with the right company.
We did take a minute to take
in the sights, as the steep hill proved to be worth the climb. The view of the
River Thames was well worth the trip and the hike.
