Thames River Cruise

Does this require commentary? I don't think so. We're on a boat. Neat buildings line the banks of the Thames.

 

 

 

 

 

 

First glimpses of Tower Bridge. The tall pointy thing on the left is The Shard - the tallest building in the EU. 

 

 

The Tower Bridge has been cleaned and freshly painted.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have an awful lot of pictures of the bridge because our boat stopped here for an unusually long time. Its sister boat was experiencing some sort of problem and we were waiting for it to arrive so that the passengers could hop on our boat to continue their journey. 

We were content. It was windy but not unbearably cold and there was lots of to look at. 

See how much fun some of us are having? 

But not this man. I just had to snap a pic of him. He posed several times for photos and in all of them he assumed the same stern expression. Come on Kim Jong-il lookalike - crack a smile! 

ETA: Ok, I don't know why Picasa & Blogger are doing this to me but my photos are not getting bigger when you click them. I'll try to figure it out but in the meantime, I've recropped my friend so you can see his serious expression. Perhaps he's on a business trip and trying to justify the expense? 

I am not having any fun. No fun at all.
