The Sights of London

We had to walk over the Millenium Bridge........have you seen the latest Harry Potter where this bridge is destroyed in the opening??????Alan, ever the engineer, had a good look at how it was constructed. Then we got our tickets for.....The London Eye -- We met a lovely couple from California who asked me to take their photo - and they took ours in return. I had to show of "The Knitter" Issue 9 which I'd picked up earlier that day in Victoria Station.
You can't believe how big this thing is -- each pod holds about 30 people and it moves so slowly -- those are the Parliament buildings at the top right of this photo.
to be continued....

I've walked over the bridge any number of times, but I cannt bring myself to ride the London Eye!...no, not me, not slow, not up high!

Looks like a blast!

Oooo, lucky you! What a wonderful trip. Although you couldn't PAY me enough money to get on the Eye. AND with 30 people per pod?! Heights AND crowds in a tight spot, not a good combination for me!
