January 20, 2018The days prior to this had been so beautiful with clear skies and actual visibility of the sun. Unfortunately, on the day of our boat cruise it was cloudy, rainy and cold. We then headed down to the Old Royal Naval College which originally served as a hospital for seamen in Greenwich. This site has featured many major film productions like Pirates of the Caribbean, James Bond’s Skyfall, Thor, Gulliver’s Travels, and many, many, more films we all love. Standing in these places and actually seeing them in real life has a completely different effect than just seeing images of them behind a screen. After this we headed down to the National Maritime Museum to look at Nelson trafalgar’s coat that is on display with a bullet hole on it’s left shoulder and blood stains on its sleeve. We also made our way up to the Royal Observatory where the Prime Meridian is located and I had the opportunity of standing on two Hemispheres at once. After out tour was done a group of us went down to the Greenwich market to get some food and headed home.
