Carrying on up the Thames and getting a "Geeko" at how the other half live...
There was one large house we passed similar to the many below but you could easily see it was in need of major renovations, unlike the ones pictured, and it had a for sale sign on the waters edge. We happened to see it in a real estate office window later that day as we cruised a village and the asking price was... 2.95 million quid... So put a figure on the rest...
NB Pukeko with Jim & Dawn, NZ, pulled over for the day but we carried on....
Who ever designed and builds these river cruiser must have made a "small fortune" because they are parked at very regular intervals along the "well Heeled" sections of the river...
At Marlow there was a rowing regatta on and it was slow going for about 1.5 miles in a narrow outside lane...
The snow freeze boat was looking for punters...
At Hambleden lock the canoeists were shooting the rapids on the weir....
On past the international rowing course at Henley...
Past Henley boathouses....
Through Henley Bridge..
Past the pubs riverside...
Featured on Grand Designs this modern home, just past Henley, caused a real uproar with the Poncy Old Fashioned neighbours when built. They were "Spewing" when interviewed that someone would build such an outrageous monstrosity here.. I think it's very complimentary to the surroundings...
