One thing on the kids’ to-do list this summer was hire a pedalo - a British paddle boat. They got their wish on the boating lake in Greenwich Park, and it was even more fun when we realized the Prime Meridian runs right through the lake.
So, we paddled back and forth between the eastern and western hemispheres for 20 minutes. Being in Greenwich today was the kids’ first time in the eastern hemisphere.
After boating, we walked up the hill to the Royal Observatory and enjoyed the view over London and Greenwich.
