Do you know what is the Prime Meridian or where can we find it? A little recap of what we had studied during our Science lesson ... Prime Meridian is the meridian ie, the line of longitude at which longitude is defined to be 0°. The Prime Meridian and the opposite 180th meridian (at 180° longitude), which the International Date Line generally follows, dividing the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.It is at Greenwich Park, London where you get to see the line where the earth is being divided into Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
< -- See the red line in the middle of the photo? That's where Prime Meridian is. 
There are many clocks and watches in this Observatory. It's interesting to see how the people in the past measure their exact position in the middle of an open sea without any watches or clocks.
Greenwich is a lovely borough with many bricks houses and little village looking like shops and restaurants. Greenwich Park itself is beautiful with lotz of greenery - A nature lover will definitely adore this place.. and so do doggie walkers + our 4 leggy furry friends + children. It's quite a joyful sight to simply watch the dogs run about freely at the fields. All looking so cute, happy and carefree! We even saw a young child having much fun rolling about on a little slope of the grass field.
Here are some shots of our 4 leggy furry friends.
<= So adorable this one & very intelligent too!
<= Her name is Molly and she's so huge and furry! -------------------

We had quite an educational tour at the Observatory etc. After the visit to the Greenwich Park, Royal Observatory and Peter Harrison Planetarium, we made our way to Greenwich market. It's a little like a flea market with eateries, photo frames, furry puppets, bags, clothes, fresh flowers etc. There are also many interesting shops such as old games shop, a very delightful candy shop (the entire shop is filled with endless bottles of colorful candies and chocolates of every favors imaginable!) etc..The chilly weather and the aroma from the various food stalls are making us slightly hungry. We decided to have a pipping hot churros. These are made on the spot, dusted generously with caster sugar and filled with chocolate or caramel sauce. We had to queue quite a while before sinking our teeth into one! We had ours with the top half filled with chocolate sauce and the bottom caramel sauce.
Savoring yummy long awaiting churros during a chilly day is definitely worth our queuing! After satisfying our stomachs, we took a stroll to Greenwich Pier. From the Pier, we crossed the River Thames via an underground (or rather under river) Greenwich foot tunnel to the opposite side reaching Island Garden.
Coincidentally, while we are on the topic of time (Mention Greenwich and people will think about time!)...26 October (ie, tomorrow) is when we need to change our clocks from the British Summer Time (BST) back to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). It feels rather strange as I never need to bother about such things when I am living in Singapore!
Anyway, since tomorrow I have an extra one hour, that means an additional hour to catch up on beauty sleep!
