One Step at a Time

Today was full of exploring new places, seeing different things, and walking until our legs turned into jello. We started off the day by taking a stroll through Leadenhall Market and taking a tour of the Bank of England. Once we finished regaining our pence and sense we headed over to the Monument to the Great Fire of London and walked up all three hundred and eleven stairs! On the way to the top we sang "Whoa we're half way there, whoa living on a stair" and by the time we got up there we were a little tired and a little scared, but the view was definitely worth the walk. After that we had a quick picnic lunch and then took a boat ride down the River Thames to Greenwich. In Greenwich, we went to the Royal Observatory, home of Greenwich Mean Time and the Meridian Line. Our favorite part of the day was straddling the Meridian Line, which is the center of all world time.
We we're in two time zones at once! So even though we walked until we dropped today, we absolutely had the "time" of our lives. Until tomorrow, cheerio!
