Greenwich
Sorry for the delay in posts. You will soon be inundated with posts from now on
Mel and I left booking a car till the last minute so we missed out and had to catch the train. Sunday morning we left Lympstone and caught a cab to the Exeter train station headed for Waterloo. The train ride was really good. We were on there for just over 4 hours but it was way better than catching a bus, and I preferred it to driving. The train only got busy as we were heading into Waterloo, so Mel and I were able to stretch out a bit before hand and managed to get some sleep in the sun.
We arrived at Waterloo and we met Teneale and Gemma there, so we could all cab it there together. The cab driver at Waterloo was absolutely useless. He didn’t offer to help us load all our massive bags in the cab, nor did he open the front door so we could put some smaller bags on the front seat. Instead he watched the four of us struggle into the back of the cab with our luggage. Jerk.
We made it to our new house in Bermondsey, which is really nice, met the landlord, drop of our luggage and headed to where everyone goes when it’s sunny, Greenwich! (Pfft call this a sunny day, you should see Bondi on a sunny day.)
We trotted around Greenwich and saw where all time is measured from. We also saw the line that divides east longitude from west? No idea what it is called? Meridian?
After that I ate some undercooked chips, we left Gemma on the tube and headed back to Bermondsey. Along the way I was able to drop in to a few pubs to grab the score from the Man Utd, Aston Villa game. I was extremely surprised when I got home to see that Man Utd won in stoppage time after being down 2-1. Woohoo (sorry Harley).
