We visited our friend Kirsty in the Isle of Dogs today. We took the tube to Monument and checked out the Monument to the Great Fire of London. We were supposed to meet Kirsty here but as the weather wasn't so flash, we decided to meet at her flat instead. From there we were planning on catching the DLR from Bank to her place, however due to engineering works, that part of the line was not operating. We had to take another tube to Canary Wharf, which meant that we got to see the posh buildings in that area. We finally made it to Island Gardens where Kirsty picked us up from the station back to her place.
After having a chat we decided to go over to Greenwich, the walk started off in fine-ish weather and slowly deteriorated, but we managed to get to the Greenwich foot tunnel before it got really awful.
At the other end, we saw the Cutty Sark, and found a market (in a warehouse type building) which we browsed as it poured with rain outside. We then headed to Cafe Rouge for some hot chocolate to warm up - not before entering a Mexican cafe and deciding that this wasn't really the place for a hot chocolate. Due to finding hair in our bread and dips and paper in Andrew's hot chocolate, we managed to fill ourselves on a rather cheap lunch!
