Greenwich

Greenwich Mean Time has been the standard of time through the years and the world. We were able to go to the Royal Observatory where time began. Were were able to straddle the line between the eastern and western hemisphere. Here is one of the largest telescopes in Europe, 28 inch in diameter. We had some wonderful views of the city from up on the hill.

I got into a conversation with a local gentlemen who was a navigator with the air force during World War II. He showed me this monument that was shot during the war. A German fighter plane came straight down this boulevard shooting bullets, and hit the monument. The statue on top was removed for safekeeping during the war, but the monument show pot marks were the bullets hit its target.
