London Eye

Saturday 08/08/09 I went on a day trip to London with my grand daughter Katie it was the London eye and River Trip organised by the local coach company.

We left at 6.45am and after some local pick ups we arrived at the eye at 11.30am it was free and easy day we were given our eye tickets and river cruise tickets as we left the coach and was told to be back on the coach at 5pm for departure home so it was up to the individuals how they wanted to spend the day.

Katie and I decided to do the eye trip first so we got in the queue and had to wait 1hr 20 mins before we got on.    Just as well we had a beautiful day. the round trip on the eye took 40mins.

When we got off the eye we made our way to the boat for our river cruise.

these photos are all taken from the boat.

 

After the river trip we had 2 hours to ourselves so after a bite to eat we headed off to parliament square.

Time to get back on the coach and make our way back home. Only one problem we didn’t get home until 9.50pm the traffic getting out of London and two hold up’s on the M4

But a very good day and brilliant weather.
