Eye Spy

Today was pretty busy as I had pre-booked river roamer tickets for the Thames Clippers, and tickets for the Eye, and we also planned to visit the Tower of London and Greenwich Observatory. We managed everything except the Observatory which is a little gutting but hopefully I'll see it one day.

The Thames Clippers are pretty cool, they're comfortable and clean and have good views and they even have a Costa Coffee on board! We took one to get to the tower, and then looked around the tower including seeing the crown jewels in all their sparkling glory. We then attempted and failed to visit the observatory before heading back along the river to the Eye, where we saw the 4D-experience thing before queueing to go on the real thing. The Eye was just as good as it was last time I went on, stunning views even though the pod had raindrops on the outside.

After the Eye, we walked over Westminster Bridge and back to Trafalgar Square, and found a nearby Pizza Express to eat in and hide from the rain. It's not much fun being in the rain when you're wearing shorts!
