On arrival at London Waterloo Station we went on the London Eye - a huge ferris wheel that never stops. Then,as yesterday, we got aboard the roofless "Big Bus". Buckingham Palace was just about to have a changing of the guard and the hordes of tourists convinced us to stay on the bus. Off on another river cruise, this time to Greenwich, where we explored the old Naval College with buildings designed by Christopher Wren - the chapel (Greek style) and Painted Room were particularly impressive. Lunch at the market finishing with Crepe Suzette. Pity about the Cutty Sark that recently was damaged by fire.
A slog back to the station to find that trains were cancelled that day. So the alternative Docklands Light Rail (DLR) back to Bank station, a taste of the underground interchange that is throughout London, and we surfaced near the Bank of England. Another slog (we were both exhausted by this time!) to get back on the Big Bus, and we finished the day seeing the famous sights of the West End, and Marble Arch, Green Park, Hyde Park, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square and the incredibly busy shopping of Oxford Street and Regent Street(remember it was Sunday, and 6pm). Here's the photos of Day 2.
