Today we had planned to head to the Tower of London but because of a late start and a colder day, we decided to do some shorter outings. The kids decided from all the choices that we would go on the London Eye.
Despite the cloudy skies, the London Eye was a breathtaking flight. I have to admit that I was not as comfortable along the edges of the capsule as the boys were. I tended to wimp it out in the middle where the bench was. We were fortunate to share the capsule with 3 other people!!
Kyle shows us the view as we begin our descent from the top of the eye. Houses of Parliament and Big Ben in the distance.
Just as we came to the end of our ride, we heard from my sister-in-law, niece and nephew…just arrived in London from San Diego. We decided to head back to Kensington to meet them for tea and cake at The Muffin Man.
Then we gave them a crash course in riding the tube. Headed out to The Embankment to walk along the Thames and do the grand tour. We managed to walk pass the Houses of Parliament and through St. James’s Park to see a view of Buckingham before heading back to the Green Park tube station just in time to join the commuters with their ride home.
