Yup, we made it into London! Duncan had an early morning meeting in London, so we hitched a ride. He dropped us at Leytonstone and we managed to get the train into Waterloo Station. We grabbed some food and found our way to the London Eye, the gigantic ferris wheel-like thing that was put up for the Millenium celebration, but proved so popular that it's still there 9 years later. It was a perfect day, bright and cool, so we started on a river cruise. It was a good idea as we got to see a lot of things and get an idea for where everything was. We also got a lot of information. The picture shows us on the front of the boat. It was a bit windy, and thus very cold. Otherwise it was the only time we were really cold. 
Because of the weather, we could see about 25 miles in all directions, so I could see the arch of Wembley Stadium in the west. The clock tower that houses "big ben" actually looks small from the top of the eye.
