Our next stop was the Royal Observatory out in Greenwich.  This is where the G in GMT comes from since the Prime Meridian Of the World is referenced from this place.  It was a bit of a climb to the top but the view was pretty good – except it was cloudy when we were there.

I’m a big fan of directions so I was quite excited to see this line from which all other North/South lines are referenced.  Katherine isn’t a big fan of directions and derived more enjoyment from making fun of this big line.  The pictures below are proof of this fact.

I got my revenge, though.  After the climb to the top Katherine was rather thirsty and spent her hard-earned money on a bottle of water.  When asked “sparkling or still” she decided that “still” water sounded gross and went for the “sparkling” water – which is, of course, carbonated water.  And it’s quite nasty.
