Yesterday we spent the day in London. The sun shone,but there was also plenty of cloud and a cooling breeze coming off the river.
Our first stop was The London Eye. Built for the Millenium celebrations it is now a well known land mark. The wheel revolves continuously and gives magnificent views of London. it takes about 30 mins for one complete circuit and moves very slowly. I will post more photos and details after Mattie has returned home and I have more time.
We then wandered along the river and eventually arrived at St Pauls. Photography is not allowed inside this beautiful building but occasionally Matties camera accidentally clicked! Mattie and I climbed the 256 steps to the Whispering gallery, here a whisper on one side can be heard on the other. John climed all 526 steps to the top and we are waiting for his film to be developed to see the views of London.
From St Pauls we wandered down to Trafalgar Square and the Church of St Martins in the Field. Here we sat and listened to the organ being played for a while before taking a Taxi down to Tower bridge. We sat here for a while before taking the River Boat back to Waterloo.
