Friday 21 November
Barrier day. Excursion to the Thames barrier.
Many good and not so good pictures as it was dusk by the time we arrived and dark when we left.
JD drove out with Bob and Boogs. Interesting video and model of how the barrier works. We then decided to leave them and walk along the Thames way towards central London. On the way: a big back of string.
Air emerites has built a cable car, 300 foot high ski lift, over the Thames. It connects to DLR, our first experience with the overground, which connects to the metro. All three accessible by oyster card.
More spectacular at night.

Not solely a tourist attraction. Priced for commuting to the up and coming and newly being built housing and commercial center between the barrier and the O2. Impressive and very well run.
Stopped for a pint o doom but they ran out again. Had to settle for some hobgoblin. Fine dinner of cod and piperrade.
