Took the City River Cruise to Greenwich. We had all the sights pointed out by commentary on board which was great. The trip took an hour and was really beautiful. The tide in the river is up to 7.5 metres so the the current was really strong when the tide turned. Boats floating as we went down the river were high and dry when we returned. Boats are mostly moored on barges in the middle of the river to cope with the tides. Greenwich observatory was a bit of a disappointment but the naval museum was good. They wanted 10 GBP pp to stand either side of the Greenwich meridian line (they just brought this charge in for the Olympics next year) Ron thought it was crass commercalisation and refused to pay. There weren’t many people going through and there a person doing a survey about why not. Tough one to work out.
