London - Day 3

Saturday

This is the final chance we get to see the sites of London so the plan was to get up early so we could beat the rush to the London Eye which is always busy.... Again we didn't get out the house as early as we wanted and yes there was a big line at the wheel. It only took about 40 mins to get into our capsule then we were away. The wheel takes about 30 mins to go all the way around and you get a good view of the city.

After that we tossed a figurative coin and decided to jump on the boat to Greenwich Village and have lunch there rather than eating before we left. Had another pub lunch (that would be 4 in 4 days... waist line increasing) then headed up to the observatory to see the Prime Meridian (where time starts.... zero point for GMT). Got the tourist shot with Jane standing on the east side and myself on the west side. There are a few other sights to see there but can't think what they were right now... a planetarium and a few statues.

Back into the city we stopped off at a pub which was surprisingly quite difficult for a Saturday afternoon. Almost all the pubs were closed. James said in that part of the city the pubs do all their business on a Friday night and don't bother opening on a Saturday.

Finally found one then after a bevvy Jane and I popped into see a friend (Patrick) for an hour. He was having a party so we left him to it and went back to meet James and Kristy. Had dinner in Islington and as I write this we are sitting backing having a beer getting ready for tomorrow's trip to Dublin.

Once again thanks to our hosts for the lodgings and the awesome tour of London!!!!
