In the big Wheel

Another day out in London

I love London.

Well, the London Eye was built in 1998 .

Only in the year 2000 it was opened for the public.

There are 32 capsules in total;

one for each of the London boroughs. 

For superstitious reasons they are numbered up to 33,

with capsule 13 left out for good luck.

Fascinating London Eye facts below!

It was the World's Tallest Observation Wheel. 
It Wasn't Meant to Be Permanent.
It Offers Unrivalled Views of London. 
There are 32 Capsules but no Number 13.
The Capsules Travel at Walking Pace. 
It Was Built in Pieces Across Europe.
It has been in numerous films and TV shows. 
It is lit up every year for the New Year.

On top of the world 

 
Even on a cloudy day 
the blue sky
is still there.

London has so much to offer and

sometimes you need to step out.

We wanted to see the limelight and have fun.

Meeting the famous was fantastic.

I shared a Marmalade Sandwich with Paddington

I shook hands with all James Bonds.

Barrack Obama
Helen Mirren
Jimi Hendrix
David Bowie

I played piano with Elton John

I took E.T. out for a ride

Enjoying a word with Dame Judi Dench …

… and with Sir David Attenborough

I drove round the Universe with the Star Wars guys

my wonderful Harrison Ford

There were plenty more

from the Marvel films,

stars, politians and royalty.

We spent a great time with all.

 
Surround yourself  
only with people
who are going 
to lift you higher.
