Greenwich & an international Festival

On most of our outings we take the tube as it is quicker than the bus.
We got off at the Cutty Sark stop. The Cutty Sark is a tea clipper which used to zip back from Australia in less than 80 days. Last summer there was a big fire on the Cutty Sark and we couldn't see it as it is under cover for renovations. Outside of the Visitors centre is this statue of Sir Walter Raleigh.
We walked on to the Royal Maritime College where there is a room called The Painted Hall. I think this guy is trying to grab me from behind!
This is the painted hall. Every inch of the walls and ceilings are painted. The ceilings alone took 19 years to finish.
This is the chapel directly across from the painted hall.
