Blades of Glory

On my latest adventure, Phil and I didn’t let the grey skies hold us back!  Armed with roller blades and a bicycle we set off for Greenwich Park. After cruising around Blackheath we bolted down the hill through the park into Greenwich proper, locked up the bike and swapped the blades for trainers and took a look around. For a small town there was plenty to see and do. We took in the view of the Cutty Sark, a tea clipper that is one of the last 3 original composite construction ships from the 19^th century. Seeing this immense ship up close made me think of what it would be like to live in the early 1900s and how much has changed in the past century. Having wondered around and taken the customary shot with the London phone box (I’m still a tourist at heart!), we ventured to the Greenwich Market where the overwhelming scents of Ethiopian, Spanish and Greek food filled the air. With lunch approaching these scents sealed the deal for where we were going to eat. Phil went for an Ethiopian dish filled with lentils, chickpeas, couscous, and spinach and packed with flavor. I went for Greek once I saw that they had Haloumi cheese. I opted for the Meze dish with Haloumi on the side… delicious! A little fuller than when we started we hopped back on the bike and strapped back on the roller blades to climb the hill back to the top of Greenwich Park. Once we made it to the top we stopped at the Observatory to take in the view and test out the panoramic shots on my new Iphone5. Just another day in London.
