Tower Bridge
Today we took a ferry boat on the Thames, to Greenwich.

We did a lot of walking today, but the main thing we did was explore the Cutty Sark, a sailing ship.
They have a a cool exhibit, you start from the side of the ship, and then walk in a cutout. It's very hot inside. :-\ Anyway, we toured the ship for several hours. It had a couple of hands on things, designed for kids. We then ate underneath the ship, where it was nice and air conditioned.
After that, we walked along a road, where we found a music conservatory. There were also painted chapels, which looked very nice.
We then turned around and visited the national maritime museum. It was very interesting, but was closing in ten minutes, so we only saw a few key things. We didn't see it, but supposedly they have the coat that lord admiral Nelson wrote when he died. After it closed, we walked over to the...
Greenwich market. Is basically a farmers' market. There were tons of cool things, like these words out of pictures taken of London.
Ta-DA! Then we went home, and while mom and dad were having dinner, I watched a movie. :-D Overall, it was a pretty good day
Guess what? I found Big Ben 2.0!
