Outside the city: Wimbledon & Greenwich

 And of course, for our tennis champion Thom, we couldn't miss Wimbledon!!

Court 1 

THE grass...

Remember this match in 2010?

History was made!!

Still the score of the final match this year

(Centre Court) 

 Seats covered...

 The holy ground...

And another must-see: Greenwich!!

 The beautiful Observatory on the top of the hill

 Rain and sun that day, but that resulted in some nice pictures

(with rainbow, if you look closely!)

 One foot in the eastern hemisphere, one in the western!

How 'cool' is that?

 Some funtime too ;)

 View from the Observatory: old buildings in the front

and (rather) new high risers in the back, nice contrast!

London

It has been so many years... too many years actually... (1992!!)

since we've last visited London!

But finally, last week, we went back!!!

Must admit that it has been soooo long, that I sort of forgot where to go for what...

(and I lived one year in the UK as a student and visited London almost every weekend!).

Anyway, it was good to be back, for sure!!

In the past 19 (!!) years I've been back a couple of times but mainly

for business purposes so no chance to go sightseeing...

But next time will be sooner, that's for sure,

London is still beautiful!!

Let the pictures prove that:
