Here we are in London!

Day One
London Eye River Cruise and London Eye First we went on the London Eye River Cruise. Naturally, you must sit on the open roof of the boat, otherwise how do you see everything and take great pictures?
 Crikey, it was cold up there, but the staff brought us a glass of warm mulled wine and that hit the spot! Good tourist information about all the different bridges, buildings and monuments along the River Thames.
Next up, was the London Eye, being able to see London from a great height.







 








We caught up with Kylie, Rob and Oliver for lunch, and then did a walking tour around London, Trafalgar Square, Oxford Street, Hamleys Toy Store, (The boys were overwhelmed) 6 floors of everything you could possibly find!  

































The Xmas sales had begun, so there were heaps of people out and about....all a bit crowded to really have a proper look around!  We were all tired after a long day of touring.

Finally catching up on my blog reading and your trips over the last wee while - just finished reading about your trip to London, it sounds like you had a blast! Love the London fire story - his teacher and kids are going to love seeing his certificate for climbing up the monument :) And you're right, Brighton's certainly a beach, but not in the same league as Rosebud ;)
