Day 63 - London (England) - Eye Spy with my London Eye!

ROUND AND ROUND THE GARDEN (AND THROUGH THE AIR). Camden markets for some cheap jeans for Yen started the day (at this stage I have resisted buying the t-shirt which has Princess Leia holding Chewbacca's child). That sorted it was off to jump on the London Eye / Millenium Wheel / Big Ferris Wheel / Instant Tourist Attraction. You can pre-purchase tickets on the web and probably save money and time queuing but after having been to Disneyland a 15 minute wait for tickets and 20 minute wait to get on the wheel is nothing. Impressive view and well worth the 13 quid. Finished with a holy mission to visit a few churches... only to find Westminster Abbey shut and St Paul's Cathedral closing down. St Paul's Cathedral was similar to a lot of the impressive churches in Italy though so no big loss... and it meant we got back in time to watch England vs Trinidad and Tabago in the World Cup back at Al and Anita's place (England managed to pull a few goals out of the hat just before the end to save the day and prevent England being mopey tomorrow!). Now it's time to pack for Ireland (thank goodness, back to Euro instead of Pounds!).
LESSON FOR THE DAY: Pre-book attractions on the internet to save time and money (but don't leave it till the last minute as most have to be booked a day in advance).
