This morning it was raining lightly as we headed into the City for our second day of sightseeing. We started the day with a trip on the London Eye, and even Liz who isn't the greatest fan of heights joined in. For those who don't know the Eye is like a large ferris wheel which takes about half an hour to go around. Each pod holds about 20 people. The rain had cleared by the time we were aboard and we got some fine views of the City. There were virtually no queues which is rare.
Then off for a stroll around Westminster Abbey, Parliament and lunch. After lunch we took a ferry down the river to Canary Wharf where Jerome works. We went back on light rail to wander around the Tower of London and across Tower Bridge. Then we visited a Mr Dickens pub for a refreshing ale. Michelle had joined us by this stage. Then on to dinner at a Thai restaurant where Nick, a friend of Michelle and Amy, joined us.
We went home for a relatively early night, since Amy and Jerome are traveling to Stockholm tomorrow for his younger brother's wedding, and we travel to Copenhagen tomorrow morning.
