The London Eye
The Monday (13/4/09) was Teneale’s birthday. YAY! The day started with a Skype call from the Parentals. After a couple hours on the phone, we journeyed down the South Bank of London for a day of walking around the big London attractions. We got up close to the London Eye, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Westminster Cathedral and Trafalgar Square. It was a really nice day out.
We got off the bus at South Bank and it felt like we had stepped out into a carnival. South Bank had all the buskers out performing for money. There must be something about painting yourself a solid colour, standing still for a couple of hours and getting money. I Might have try it out at some point.
After a good day of walking around, we decided to hang around to see London at night. We stopped into a pub for about 30 minutes while we waited for it to get dark. But instead of being in the pub for 30 minutes, we were in there for about 2 hours. We met a really nice couple from the States and we got talking.
London @ night
We’ll after our 2 hour chat we left the pub and we were met by the London Eye lit up with all the colours of the rainbow. It was brilliant (as they all say here). I’m glad we hung around for it. I took a ton of photos, and got to play around with the manual settings on my camera. I will upload the photos shortly.
