3/16/15 Greenwich

While visiting Greenwich we explored the National Maritime Museum. One of the museum curators gave us a talk about the tea trade. After that we visited the Cutty Sark which is the fastest still-surviving tea clipper. We were able to walk around the lower deck, tween deck, and upper deck. After the Cutty Sark, we walked up to the Royal Observatory where we were able to straddle the prime meridian and look out across London (what a beautiful view). We also walked to The Queen’s House but we were unable to see inside due to a wedding. Wouldn’t that be a pretty place to get married? Our last destination in Greenwich was the Old Royal Naval College which has an extraordinary painted ceiling.
