27 June 2007- Boat Cruise, London Eye

Yesterday we took the train in to Charing Cross and then walked to Trafalgar Square and took a bus tour of the City of London. We then walked to Picadilly Circus, Leicester Square, China Town and past the Horse Guards and the Admiralty. Made it to the show at 3:00- SPAMALOT was very funny and enjoyed by all. We have been humming tunes ever since.


Woke up to a little bit of sun peeking out from the clouds so we headed into the city to take advantage of the free boat ride included on our bus tour ticket. We took the train to Westminster station and boarded the boat right beside the London Eye. We got off at Greenwich and walked past the National Maritime Museum, the Royal Naval College and up the hill to the Royal Observatory where Brian got a picture of the three women, one foot in the Eastern Hemisphere and one in the West. Great views from up there.

Then we got back on the boat and ended up back at the London Eye. We bought our tickets and the line moved pretty fast so soon we were on our way up into the air! Great views again, but as we got off the ride it started to rain, again.

We had an early supper next to Westminster Abbey, then toured this huge old church and saw the tombs of many of the late kings and prime ministers. We listened to Big Ben chime at 6 and 7 pm, then headed home.
