Our Dartmouth group took a boat trip to Greenwich along the Thames River this morning and had the whole day to explore there. The boat left at 9:30 from Westminster and our driver had a strong cockney accent which was fun to listen to. He pointed out major sights as well as some entertaining things like where Cher used to live. We arrived in Greenwich at 10:30 and I was exhausted from Friday evening so I ducked into a noon 3D showing of Toy Story 3 before exploring, which was amazing! I definitely recommend seeing it. Greenwich has many free touristy things to do, including traveling through time and space. The meridian runs through Greenwich marking the change from the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. It is one hour ahead on the Eastern side, so you can travel back in time by crossing into the west-something I made a lot of corny jokes about. Not a bad place for a day trip, especially on Dartmouth's tab!
A nice view of the Eye from the boat!
