Bon voyage Greenwich....we set sail this evening and are heading toward the North Sea. Beautiful skies and weather have been our friend ever since we arrived in Greenwich earlier this week. We are hoping for continued good weather.
After dinner we went to the stern of the ship and watched the local harbor workers undo the moorings and the tug boats get into position along with the Pilot boat. We eventually moved to the bow of the ship once we were untethered and watched the coastline pass by.
A huge concert was taking place in the square and you can hear the music and clamoring of the crowds. I wish we had time to attend, but at least we could enjoy it for a few minutes. People along the shore waved, whistled, and shouted as we passed by. And a most spectacular display were the people on top of the O2...and I do mean on top walking down a jetway, so to speak. That took my breath away and would not be something I would ever consider!
They have installed, many years ago, I believe I heard 30, tidal surge barriers much like we saw in Venice, Italy. A children's playground was built in the area and there is a rusty old boat languishing in at the river's edge. Loads of construction going up all over the island...a very busy place.
On to the North Sea and Edinburgh! Happy travels to all and thanks for stopping by!
