19/02/06 sightseeing

Cold and still very jetlagged, we headed to London town to take in the sights...



Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Downing Street, Trafalger square, chinatown, Soho, Picadilly Circus, walking along the Thames, churches, parks, statues, numerous beautiful old buildings, and of course lots of black taxis, red telephone boxes and big red double-decker busses. We got really cold and the day progressed into more of a pub crawl, taking in a few sights along the way. We finished up with a "flight" on the London Eye (a big Ferris wheel on the bank of the Thames) which gave us a veiw of London at its grey and drizzly finest. The capsule was heated so it was a lovely warm 40 minutes.
