London Eye







The Lonely Planet Guidebook let us astray a bit while we were in London. The main one was that it said the London Eye wasn't open on the weekends in off season. However, we saw it moving so we thought we'd check it out. After figuring out which line to be in, we went up to the lady and asked if we could get tickets. It was about 3:00 PM. She said the next ride was at 4:00 and we could join the queue at 3:30.

Optimistic, we headed outside to see where the queue was. Then, our hopes dashed. It was long. Very long. Since we had already purchased our tickets, we grabbed some sandwiches for our late lunch and finished them in time to join the wait. I think we got onto the London Eye about 4:30 or 5:00. It wasn't too bad of a wait and it was a good way to see the city skyline.
