Greenwich Town - National Maritime Museum -

Greenwich - We spent the whole day at Greenwich town which is famous for Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and is the time measured on the Earth's zero degree line of longitude, or meridian. This runs from the North Pole to the South Pole, passing through the Old Royal Observatory in the London suburb of Greenwich.

Temperature is around 5 degrees celcius.   

Spent about an hour at National Maritime Museum - it was free entrance - about naval battles and maritime exploration.   


Of particular interest was Admiral Lord Nelson battle coat with the bullet hole.  Nelson was the brilliant admiral that defeated the French and Spanish ships at the Battle of Trafalgar.   

The bullet shot Admiral Nelson's coat and killed him
