Down the Thames

Past the Houses of Parliament

Towards Tower Bridge

On Saturday, 10 July 2004, Joan, her son John, and his son Todd, took Katiman down the Thames, from Kingston to Limehouse.

I imagined, being such a big river, being able to sneek down the edge, avoiding any serious traffic.  Wrong!  There are so many structures sticking out into the river, jetties, boats, The London Eye, that down the (right of) middle we went.

Not too bad (tide not too fast) until we get to the main part of London, where all the passenger ferries whizz about.  Enormous chop, and ‘huge’ boats – I would have loved a photograph of us from the river bank (next time?).  However, it only lasts a mile or two.

On under Tower Bridge, into Limehouse Lock, moor, and get the beers out – phew!
