How does the London bridge know to open when a boat comes through?
London Bridge isn't an opening bridge. The only bridge in London which spans the river Thames and can open, is Tower Bridge. If a boat needs to have the bridge opened so that it can pass underneath, it has to book a slot in advance with the bridgemaster who will arrange to open the bridge at the agreed time.

What is so special about the tower bridge in London?
There isn't another bridge anywhere else in the world that looks anything like Tower Bridge so it is instantly recognisable. It is the only bridge over the river Thames that can be raised to allow tall-masted boats to pass under it. It is still possible for pedestrians to cross the bridge, even when it is 'open' to allow a boat to pass underneath.

No. Modern ships are so big that they would be too tall and too wide to pass through Tower Bridge and even if they could, they would be too big to turn round to get back again.

You have to start at the dock on the main island and jump on the boat that comes into the dock and goes to the island with the coconut-loving pianta. Get on that island and wait for the next boat, which goes from that island to a big tower with a banana on it, but make sure to eat a coconut right before you get on the second boat. Get off on the tower and go to the island with the pipe after eating the banana on the third boat.
