More London

The next day we decided to go into all the cool places we rode past the day before. We started out the day inside Westminster Abbey. We listened to the audio tours and had a great time. We then crossed the river towards the London Eye. A look back at the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. We then attempted to go on the London Eye. There was some problems so it was closed when we got there. We opted for lunch at McDonald's. As we left McDonald's we noticed the Eye was moving again so we got our tickets and climbed on! It was amazing. The views were excellent. Here is a shot of London looking at the next pod.

We then spent the afternoon visiting St. Paul's Cathedral and generally enjoying London. Here are some night shots of London. I wish I had my nice camera! The Tower Bridge.

The London Eye.

This was supposed to be our last day in London. The plan was to take the train back to Paris and pick up our luggage at the Paris Marriott and then fly home. Unfortunately the train system failed and 5 trains were stuck in the chunnel the night before we were supposed to go. The trains were closed for 3 days affecting some 90,000 people traveling to London, Paris or Brussels. After the most stressful day of trying to get flights to Paris, we finally gave up and re-booked our tickets out of London. This meant that we now had 3 more days to kill in London!
