Saturday. GREENWICH!!!! This trip was initially planned for next saturday...and Chelsea and I were suppose to go to Camden today, but yesterday, we made plans with Tyler and Kendall (KNOW BITCHES WOULDN'T WAKE UP) to go to Greenwich, so I was just like okay, let's just go, so off we went! I thought Greenwich would be far, kinda like Oxford? But it's on the overground and in zone 2...whatttT??? So we did that, got there at 2...took some pics..had a chocolate beer! *yay* at The Old Brewery I found online which is part of the Greenwich University..or the Naval College as they call it I believe..So I thought it was gonna be a trek to find this place, cause maps always make things seem further than they are...and Chelsea had to pee, so we stopped by the "history museum" place in the uni..and when we walked out I was like "oh there's the place!" It's a microbrewery which is pretty cool, they make Meantime beers, so chocolate was a special flavor and I reallyy wanted to try, Chels tried one with me... quite pricey, and didn't really taste like chocolate, but at least I can say i tried it!
Then off we went to get food...we went to the info desk, and they recommended the Trafalgar Pub or the Yacht Pub, we walked by Trafalgar, definitely packed with tourists, and headed a bit down the narrow alleyway and found the Yacht which was soo cute, so we had to go in...it's a bar, so it's "self service" but we're Americans and we don't know any better...so we just sat there..WAITING...and tried to wave down the "duty manager" (legit her tag said that, with no name!) She's like....if you wanted service you need to go to the dining room (very diff atmosphere I felt, when i walked through it to go to bathroom) we just stayed in the bar cause we had great seats with a nice view...behind me was the ocean! Or Thames River, really. So the duty manager brought my water over with a reminder to get it myself..LOL "self serve" oopsss!!!! I ordered fish n chips..omg so delicious..i was craving it soo bad!!!!! And the tartar sauce made everything amazing..
After that, it was like 330, so OFF to the Prime Meridian we go! Which is in the Royal Observatory...walked through the park..hiked up that steeep hill, then got there...so it's 7 pounds to get in...but I saw these two asian guys and was like "oh let's follow". I thought they would know a way to sneak in..but I guess they had tickets cause they ended up walking..through the main entrance..so there was lady #1 sitting there..then lady #2 comes and is like to lady #1 "why is everyone just walking through??? lady #2: they have tickets! lady #1 walks after those two asian men..and chelsea walks after her..and i'm like.."wtf??" so I followed and lady #1 came back, walked by me, looked at me..but didn't say anything..so we got in fo freeeeee! gyeahh!!! Then we took looked for the prime meridian, but it was no where to be found..no signs nothing!!! Then i looked down, and i'm like "chels....i think i'm standing on it..." *looked up...* YEHHH!!! I AM!!! Took pics, straddled it..ahhaha, good times. I never knew it was in greenwich, well i didn't know where greenwich was..but it's crazy how many heritage sites, or whatever places i've been since i've come to uk, unknowingly! Then we walked through the observatory...Flemsteed's "house" and the Times Gallery...
Then we went to the Greenwich Market...got a cupcake, well i did, sampled cherry cider..then went to this milkshake place chelsea liked..i got a ferrero rocher milkshake..way too rich..then headed home :)
