24th June 08 - Up the Thames and under Tower Bridge
Lovely 'Day at Sea' which included a 'Galley Lunch'. Then the trip up the river Thames culminating in Tower Bridge rising to let us through. We then had our dinner over looking the Tower before got off and going for a walk along the river bank. After night on board we left for home on Wednesday morning.
