Eye in the sky

Well our last day in London has come and gone. We ended the day with a ride on the Eye - a truly gigantic farris wheel that takes 30 minutes to make a single rotation. The picture here is the view from the top. At last we could see the extent of the place we had been running around in like mice in a maze.

We also visited Greenwich, land where time and longitude began. It's a very nice town just down the Thames from the heart of London. We took a commuter boat to get there and got to see much of the waterfront. The Royal Observatory is in Greenwich where many historical clocks and telescopes are kept. Much to our surprise there are also parrots in the park nearby!

Lastly, there was the Tower of London. It's basically a huge castle right in the middle of town. So much to say about that and much more but that's all for now! Pictures await you all.
