In the morning we took the train to Waterloo station and met with Ricardo and his family. After that we did a mad dash to subway then another train DLR from the financial district to get to Greenwich. DLR was pretty cool. It is unmanned and we sat in the first car with a large glass wall. So first we enjoyed the scenery as it was going above ground - all the skyscrapers and new neighborhoods. And when it got underground the view got even cooler. Kids huddled up in the front and enjoyed the view.
When we got there, it was almost lunch time. We walked around Greenwich in search of the interesting place to eat and eventually navigated to Zizzy, the Italian place. Isabella had macaroni with nothing on them.
Greenwich is beautiful. Every place had a fascinating story to tell about Maritime history of England and world in general. We passed the impressive Cutty Sark, and the observatory and the museums. Seen a little of Greenwich on the way. Saw a great view of London from the observatory hill and took a picture of us standing on the meridian line. And did not feel like we did the place much justice. We will come back and revisit everything including the food :)
Tomorrow we are going to Ireland. Hopefully everything will be OK with our rental car. We have reserved hotels for the first five days. We will be moving in the counterclockwise direction around the island. We don't know yet whether all the places have the Internet so we may go off grid for some time. Will try to provide updates when possible.
