Day 139 greenwich, United kingdom

Our anchor point at Greenwich was interesting and took an hour and a half.. The ship doesn't actually dock as such, but positions itself in the middle of the river as it is too shallow to get any closer to the shoreline. A barge is then secured to the side of the ship which has full services as any cruise terminal would have; i.e. baggage scanners, toilets etc.
Shuttle boats (Uber) then get you ashore from the barge.
Greenwich, a borough of London, is home to the Royal Observatory. From here, the world's longitude is measured from the prime meridian, and Greenwich Mean Time sets the global time standard. At the port, the clipper ship Cutty Sark, one of Greenwich's renowned historic landmarks, is preserved as a fascinating museum.Weiterlesen
