Last day in London

We flew back to London today and stayed here for one more day before we fly back to Arizona. We did one more touristy thing this early evening. We went on The London Eye. It's like a Ferris Wheel but with capsules where about 20 people can stand around and walk in at once. It's over 400 feet tall. It's the 3rd largest in the world, but the 1st largest that is held on one side, if that makes sense. Anyway, you can see a lot of London in there. It takes about 30 minutes to go all the way around. It was beautiful and fun.

The classic double-decker bus and the London cab (we rode in both, so fun)
