London, day 11

     With breakfast and dinner alone, I am truly beginning to love English cooking.  The breakfast was delicious, yet again with such common breakfast foods.  We finished packing everything up to head into the main land of England (or Britain, or Great Britain, or the United Kingdom... how many names does it have?)  We took a mini ferry all of seventy five feet (over a body of water) and then got onto the next one which was at least the size of the huge one we originally took to England.  We arrived in Southhampton and caught the coach to London.

     It was drizzling, but the sun came out when we got to the London Eye.  We waited in line for a bit, but it was no where near as long of a wait as it was for the Eiffel Tower.  Getting into one of the pods was like getting onto a moving sidewalk that moved left and right, for the ferris wheel (basically what the London Eye is) never stopped moving.  

     From the very top, you realize just how big London is.  It seemed to stretch on infinitely.  Similar to the Eiffel Tower, you could see many of the city's attractions.  Including Big Ben, the Tower of London, Abbey Road, the Shard (The tallest skyscraper in Europe), and much much more.  We hopped off and took a quick coach ride too the restaurant for dinner. (we ate lunch on the coach).  The traffic was bad (isn't it always in London?) so we had to walk the remaining distance, but it was definitely worth the food.  

     We headed back to the hotel, the sky cloudless.  The weather was wonderful.
