River Thames

This was the second time we went on a trip on the River. From Westminster to Greenwich. This time we spent the time at Greenwich to have a snack and to shop around the Street Markets. We were surprised to find a stall that sells some nice Boerewors It is an English guy who sells sausages and meat from different countries and he's got a South African guy who supplies him with the South African "sausages"...which is called wors. He also sells biltongwhich, of course, we couldn't resist!

With our previous visit we visited the
Royal Observatory, but we were a bit late, but just in time to stand on the O-line (Greenwich Time-line) to take pictures! Before we visited the Observatory, we spent time at theCutty Sark

Aberystwyth

In 2004 we visited friends of us in Aber. Aber is short for Aberystwyth. Pieter and Leone came to the UK in 2002 and we met them in Sutton, where we used to live when we came the first time to the UK. Leone is an ex-teacher, retired, but an artist and she is just amazing. Some of her art works are to be seen in Embassies! They are two lovely friends and spent a lot of time showing us around in Aber and nearby places.

These pics are from a castle in Aber. Follow the weblink to read more. The dog was funny...we stopped to buy something on the A438 route and he was sitting, very patiently, in the van waiting for his master!

Aberystwyth is in West Wales.
