I spy with my little eye…
Aline writes: Well, a not so little eye! Kevin and I went on the London Eye while he was here (leaving Bill safely on the ground – it’s no place for someone who doesn’t like heights!) It was really enjoyable – it doesn’t actually stop for you to get on, but it runs so slowly that it is pretty easy to hop onboard. Each carriage seems to hold about 20 people, and it takes about 30 minutes to make a full circuit.
One of my favorite things was the brochure I bought – quite cleverly designed so that when you look North, West, South, and East, you can match the landmarks on the card with the view, since the directions were also labeled inside the carriage.
Looking at the view made me sympathize with Prince Charles and his campaign against ugly modern architecture - look at what surrounds St Paul's for example.
And it reminds me that London really does hold 7 million people!
The views were spectacular – but pardon the speckles as there were raindrops on the windows, and the darkness of the photos as the sun was setting!
But as you can see, London really is spectacularly beautiful city.
