Greenwich

Saturday morning I was asked by my friend to visit Greenwich for a walk. The weather was great so I decided going. My last time to Greenwich was long ago, something like eight months ago.

Greenwich is famous for its observatory and the fact that the zero meridians is crossing there, but I was really surprised to find more than that.

The first place you can see as you arrive there is the Greenwich University, it is just as you arrive but somehow I have missed it for my previous visit. It is stunning place on huge territory with great architecture buildings in Romains style.

The green parks are so beautiful with enormous grass areas and a lot of tries, really recommended for a walk …

From the observatory hill the London city is spread beneath as on the palm. It is much more familiar after these couple of months.

On the way back, I took the DLR train. It is part of the Tube trains system but was build later on and (as I think) operates by a private company. The main differences are the above ground paths and a driverless motion. I felt really unsafe by the fact that robot is driving the train ….

I would really recommend taking DLR from the Greenwich to Stratford. This path is going trough the new business area, the Canary Warf. It is a new area with huge buildings and a lot of suit dressed men, it reminds me a bit of downtown in New York but in a smaller scale.

More about this area next week, I will visit there again ….

By the way, just for your vocabulary … the informal name for toilet is loo, so if you are in the pub … `I will go to the loo and will be back shortly` …

p.s up there in the text, can I use the word stunning to say that it was very beautiful ?
