Greenwich

Poor hubby wasn’t feeling well the next day so we stayed in till late morning. We eventually managed to make our way to Greenwich by bus, arriving in time for lunch. Our first stop was the National Maritime Museum, which proudly displays Britain’s seafaring history. From there it was a rather steep walk up to the Royal Observatory, the renowned monument to navigational research. It is the original home of Greenwich Mean Time and is famous for being the source of the Prime Meridian line that divides the East from the West (longitude 0° 0' 0'').

Ooh look, Kuala Lumpur gets a mention :)

Y&A dropped by to join us until closing time, and then it was off to a nearby village to grab some tea. It was raining rather heavily, so that was one wet and cold walk! Well, at least there was something warm to look forward to :)

We managed to catch another musical later in the evening- Hairspray! We decided to take a chance and just turn up at the theatre counter for last-minute tickets, and were pleased to find 2 suitable and affordable seats left. Hurrah! Hairspray was just so much fun; we really had a blast. There was so much colour and energy in the music and dancing; it was difficult not to groove along!

We got lost in Rotherhithe late at night while trying to get home by bus, so that was a bit scary. Thank God we managed alright in the end! Phew.
