And as it is a long weekend, which means that the city is filled with tourists anyway, I thought why not join them. So I rode my bike &#8211;\u00a0through the rain &#8211; to Greenwich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On my way to Greenwich Park I walked by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ornc.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Old Royal Naval College<\/a>. This 17th century monument is kind of impressive (and free). And as you walk around, you&#8217;re being accompanied by beautiful classical music played by practicing students of the Trinity College of Music. Pretty cool!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, from the 17th century I went back to Greenwich Mean Time at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rmg.co.uk\/royal-observatory\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Royal Observatory<\/a>. And as a true tourist, I&#8217;m proud to tell you that I took a picture of the famous Meridian Line with each foot in a different hemisphere. You actually need to stand in line &#8211; on the Meridian Line &#8211; to take that picture, but when you&#8217;re there anyway you can&#8217;t leave without it of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately by then the sun had come out&#8230;. Until it was time to leave and I could ride my bike -through the rain &#8211; all the way back. But hey, being Dutch it feels just like home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanpixxels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Greenwich5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Greenwich Mean Time\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanpixxels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bw-30prc-export-for-web.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-598\" title=\"Royal Observatory\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes you just need to be a tourist in your own city.
