This was a VERY busy day involving LOTS of walking (14,656 steps so far!) so I will show the day more with pictures than with words.

Eye
You seriously need to suck it up and go on the London Eye. I hate Ferris wheels and it didn’t scare me. And you can see so much up,there. The chances of it breaking while you are up there are relatively low.:)

The Eye
Thanks for being so incredibly interested in the hope for survival of your parents on the Eye. We aren’t afraid to get on it. We mainly just explored today on Hop On, Hop Off and walking. We do have only two more days here and there are a few things I definitely want to do, so we will have to weigh our options.

AMEN! Every bathroom here, in the older buildings especially, are ALWAYS upstairs or downstairs using winding steps like they have in the turrets of castles. THEN the stall is so small you have to be a contortionist to navigate the process! It’s all fun! We are always thankful just to have found one.

More than a church!
This architecturally-splendid building is actually Westminster Cathedral, the mother church of the Catholic faith in England and Wales.

Enjoying the pictures and blog. If you get a chance go to Harrods we enjoyed seeing it. The food court was amazing.
