*nods vigorously* Yes, that is exactly what I was trying to convey! I knew from the river map that we were passing the Eynsham lock and mooring near a toll bridge.

I've not yet taken a Circle Line cruise. I generally take visitors on the Staten Island Ferry to show them the city from the water. miss_amaranth will be coming over for a trip to the States in December; perhaps I will bring her around on the CL then. Twould be a first for both of us!
