A Ride on the Eye

I achieved one of my ambitions today with a ride on the London Eye. When we got to Southbank this morning the queue to go on the Eye was horrendous and those queuing were waiting in the hot sun. We bought our tickets but decided to leave our ride until later in the day. It was a wise move as by 6pm the queue was much shorter and in the shade.

Before lunch we went to Greenwich by boat and after lunch visited the Royal Observatory. Then we took the boat back to Westminster Bridge. By the time we got back to our hotel after dinner we had walked over 6.5 miles. I'm not sure what the temperature got up to today in London but over 30 degC was predicted.
