So we only had a half day in London before we needed to grab a shuttle for a ship to Amsterdam, so we tried to do little last minute tourist stops before we left. The first of these was finding Harry Potter's 9 and 3/4 line to Hogwarts at Knights Cross station. Good luck with that. They are doing renovations of the entire station so they moved the track outside and it is now a poorly made photo wall unfortunately. That was disappointment number one. Then we travelled for another hour to make our way to Abbey Road. The place was packed, not by people, but by rude and angry drivers. We tried to get a good picture, but weren't really that successful, but seriously, its not that big of a deal. I hear early in the morning is the best option in the future. Got back to Greenwich, and I checked out the Market which was large and pretty unique with fruit, and a lot of other goods. I then took the opportunity to go up to the royal observatory and take pictures of the coolest site in Greenwich, the Prime Meridian.
It is an arduous climb up the hill but the view of London is definitely worth it. I grabbed some food for dinner on the boat on the way back, and it was off to Amsterdam. The boat, a Stella Liner, was gigantic, 11 floors, with most of what a major cruise line would have on it, which was very comfortable. We took advantage of it and had some fun! Not like we needed to, Amsterdam in the morning. |
