Greenwich - Painted Hall and Chapel

[amaraal]

Hi guys! Dear nodbear a friend from the US and I visited Greenwich again. The Painted Hall is overwhelming, if I may say so. I thought for all of us who have never seen it (whatever the reason), it would be good to get an impression

Oh, the vid is splendid. I do have a photo of Mr O'Brian in the Painted Hall. Greenwich itself never ceases to amaze me. It is a treasure trove for any Aubreyad fan. Thank you. :)

You're welcome. It was a bit your fault. If you hadn't mentioned the Hall in one of your mails, I would never have known it exists :) So - thank you. *bows*

Oh thanks so much for sharing - so glad you got to visit this fantastic place!

Just imagine the comings and goings in Jack Aubrey's time - it's a fascinating place even now, but then it must have been amazing.

Did you get to the Observatory up on the hill - and see Harrison's chronometer? And did you see the "tulip" staircase? If not, you must plan another visit!!

Thanks again; it's lovely to share your outings.

If it would have been as crowded as it was in Aubrey's time I most certainly would have fainted :)

No, unfortunately we were a bit late that day. Arrived there around four o'clock in the morning and all shops and the museum close at five!

But we most certainly plan another visit :)

Thanks for your comment!
