Check off another London tourist attraction! Played hooky this Friday with an out of town guest and decided to do the Eye ... not a bad idea since it was so sunny out (that blue ski is a rarity here). The London Eye just so happens to be the biggest ferris wheel in Europe (huge ... bigger than Navy Pier), and the glass pods you ride around in are pretty cool. The round takes about 30 mins total and is just above Big Ben and the House of Parliament on the River Thames, providing spectacular views. Generally I am scared in ferris wheels, but this one is so sturdy and smooth, not a nerve twitched! Whew, didn't have to have another panic event like at the Eiffel Tower!
So proud. Tackle those ferris-wheel fears. Not as rickety as the built-in-three-days traveling ferris wheel in Paris. London looks beautiful. Dublin for St. Pat's? Hope you have a great time.
