Saturday River Cruising


On Saturday we decided that were going to use a boat instead of our feet. We hopped on the City Cruise boat about Noon at the Tower Pier and we headed up the river to the Westminster Pier. You can see we saw many of the famous sites in London. The British Airways London Eye. We realized as we went by that it never stops. As they are emptying one car they are loading up the one in front of it while it is still slowly moving. Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. I didn't realize that the clock is so beautiful. A very bright gold. Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and Exhibition is quite amazing to see. The Globe is the white building on the right side of the bottom picture. It is a replica of the original down to the thatched roof. Several years ago they were digging a foundation for another building just over the highway from the Globe and they found the original foundation for the Globe. All I know it that there is a nice new modern building on the Globe's original site.
