The London Eye, or Millennium Wheel, is the tallest Ferris wheel in Europe and the most popular attraction in London. So in true tourist fashion we headed over on a clear evening to take a ride.
I've posted a number of pictures from various heights as we rotated around the big wheel.
This first one is Big Ben and Parliament.
A red double-decker bus way down there on the bridge.

The design resembles a huge spoked bicycle wheel. Cool!

Jean, Michael...
and us.
The ride took about 30 minutes to complete. We took some silly pics on the Westminster bridge
then walked home.
Brilliant!
There's also a short "4D" video you can view while waiting for the ride. Posted here, it loses a little effect without the 3D glasses, but we thought it still captures some of the spirit of this amazing city.
