On top of the world

Now that our time in London is coming to an end, we have to start doing some of the stuff that we'd like to do before going home. One of the things on this to-do list is going on the London Eye, so on a nice sunny weekend, off we went!



After queueing for about an hour (to buy tickets, and then to get on), we finally "boarded" one of the pods. The view was actually pretty nice from up there, and as you can see, it was a really wonderfully sunny day.



I personally found the view of the other pods & the eye's mechanism a lot more interesting than the view of London..



The boys all had a good time, and I tried not to feel too scared of the height. We stopped moving for a few minutes when we were about 2/3 of the way up and I got a little paranoid about it having broken down and us being stuck up there for hours... But thankfully that didn't happen. Also thought it was very sneaky of British Airways to put their logo prominently on some of the windows for free publicity in millions of photos all around the world!
