A panoramic view onto Culloden battlefield from the visitor centre on its south-eastern rim.

Another exhibit. One of a whole number of train cars and locomotives. This one a beautiful steam engine.
We're already below the exhibits on the photo prior. The museum tour basically starting at the top and then, in chronologically correct order, progressing further down back to the base level.

Early tramways were also still drawn by horses, as can be seen with this exhibit. Other power sources (steam, combustion engine, electricity) only became an eligible choice for transport within a city later on.

The Museum of Transport right next to the Covent Garden market is well worth a visit for anyone at least somewhat interested in different means of transport. Among its exhibits are many pieces for public transport from times past. Including this particular, one of the very first cars for everyone's use. Still drawn by horses, obviously.

Back on the north side of the river lies the Monument to the Great Fire of London. Being errected only short ways of the place where the fire broke out in 1666. Due to the 350 years anniversary, a special exhibition about the fire was held in the Museum of London that we would visit on a later day.

Another view onto the Golden Hind II, showing more of the right side of the ship. With a small gun and the golden figurehead. Which on this ship actually is a head.
The ship might seem big here. But once you board, you realise it's not really all that big. And when you consider the sailors living on something this size for months without a pause, travelling all over the oceans... It suddenly starts to look very, very small.

South of the river, just a few steps West from London Bridge lies the Golden Hind II. A reproduction of the Golden Hind, the flagship of Sir Francis Drake on his trip around the world from 1577 to 1580. There's a souvenir shop a bit to the left of what's seen on the photo here, where you can book tickets to visit the ship and enjoy small tours of it. I strongly recommend going for one of the tours, they are well worth it. Giving you a lot of insight on life on the ships of that time.

On our way further West of course, my bad.

Walking upriver from the Tower and looking back eastwards gives you this wonderful look onto Tower Bridge.

This is what the barriers on the picture before were for: The London Triathlon. We didn't even know about it. But passed by only short time before the athletes passed by on the bike part of their race. Being informed of it by one the marshals on track, we stayed and waited to cheer them on.
