Walk along the embankment

Today we took the bus and tube into London. We walked across the Thames from Embankment Tube station to the London Eye. There was only a short queue so we got on without a long wait.


First we did a 4D show which I didn't like. I had to wear these funny glasses.


The London Eye was great though! We had the best capsule. It was decorated in flowers.






We saw lots from the top of the Eye. I could even see St Pauls Cathedral. I want to go there and whisper to mum and dad from the whispering gallery.









We saw lots of other interesting things as we walked along the Embankment....




...like Charlie Chaplin


... People sunbathing outside a bookstore


.... Artwork under a bridge


And me walking across Millennium Bridge to St Pauls Cathedral.



Here it is!!! We climbed to the very top- above the dome. It was a lot of steps. We weren't allowed to take photos in the Church. We did whisper in the whispering gallery. It seemed to travel along the walls.



Can you see Tower Bridge? This photo was taken from above the dome. Mum worked near here and we met one of her friends for dinner.




Here I am, across the road from mums old work. That is the Monument behind me and it was built in memory of the Great Fire of London in 1666. The fire lasted for 5 days and burnt down lots of London. It started in a bakery.





Mum and her friend Vina in Leadenhall Market where we had dinner. It was a looonng day!
