We are since 2 Days in the marina of Ipswhich. We are not quite come from the place, because us by pulling low pressure area has prevented from Continue. Low pressure areas usually mean rain and lots of wind. Both are weather conditions, the sailors any more like like a normal sentient human being a dentist visit. According to the motto “we make a virtue of necessity”, today was a visit to the capital of England on the program. Promptly at 8:30 were the walking shoes on the feet, charged the batteries of the camera and strapped backpacks on their backs. The transportation of our choice was the train, the us after the hour ride into the center of London, zur Liverpool Street, has brought. Katya had organizationally again everything as always followed confidently in control and I am your. If it were not for that stupid bank, with your boards from Ironwood in shin height, stood right in the way! One has the hurt, as I ran at full speed towards the thing and with a gallant “Flachköpper” about the bank, before the eyes of other tourists, im Sand gelandet bin. “Ouch-Ouch” I can say only! A little later, however, it was going on with our tour. Our first stop was the Tower Bridge, which probably everyone knows from the English lessons.

Towerbridge

After two hours of walking and a delicious cup of coffee at the marina, we decided, up the River Thames with a riverboat up to Westminster to drive. The poor steamer really had to fight against the flow of water running off.

It was not just a welfare for the feet, but also a delight for the senses.

After a good 45 Minutes we arrived and on we went walking in the city. Maybe us happiness is yes again hold and Prince Harry remembers our meeting on the Suffolk Agriculture Show. A cup of tea would be there but probably mounted at least. But first had to Katja leave a good impression with the guards.

Ein harter Job: Security guard in front of the Palace

Teatime what over and the door remained closed! Schade!

We have then a short walk to Picadilly Circus, Hide Park Garden gemacht und Courts. The parks are extremely well maintained and have otherwise made a very good impression.

Droll Squirrel even eat out of your hand

Equally positive was our overall impression of London after a stay of good 9 Hours and 20.000 Units on the Pedometer! Certainly the impressions were partially “oppressive” after the many quiet days on the water, but it was a very worthwhile visit this very interesting and beautiful city. We can in any case only report best and express a clear recommendation to an imitation! Am Ende des Tages, just before we rose in the train, are we still have a funny colorful “Bird” seen..

So you can also lure people into business

Tomorrow it goes to 7:00 early start again. We want to use the flood, to go running off with water back into the North Sea. The next night we want in a river, spend the Hamford River at anchor the night. There will even give seals. Ganz sicher haben wir dort aber kein WLAN und deshalb musste der Bericht noch heute fertig werden 🙂 Es ist jetzt 23.42 Clock and the skipper is now ending. Good night!
