The South Bank, Big Ben, Houses of Parliament, London Eye and More

Continuing with Day Three of my trip to London in July.  Wow, has it already been nearly two months since I came back?  How time flies?

Okay, fast rewind back to that day. We went for a walk all the way from our hotel – The Trafalgar – to the South Bank.  It was a lovely walk, it drizzled just a tiny bit at one time, and other than that it was nice and warm – perfect weather for a walk. Do you know that London is a fabulous place to take a walk?  Oh, the parks, the sightseeing, and the architecture!  This is some of what we saw as we got closer.

The London Eye – isn’t it lovely?

Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament – aren’t they just magnificent?

Okay, I won’t ask you any more questions, I’ll just let you take a look at the pictures.

I don’t know what the name of the castle or palace type building is so I’ll just call it “Beautiful Palace”

Fancy a ride, you could go on this carousel or the London Eye which you might see if you look closely at the picture.

Fancy a walk?  London is a terrific place for taking walks.  Oh, how I would love to be taking a walk there right now!

Time for bubbles!

Have you ever seen such a big bubble or seen one as beautiful?

Wow!  Now, it’s really massive!  This man is good, and I think he’s magical!

So, we left the bubbles to get closer to our ultimate destination – the London Eye.

Now, we are getting closer to the London Eye

Here we are really close, in fact – we are at the entrance of the London Eye!

So, you’ve seen pictures of the entire wheel, you may have seen what it looks like up close – if not, this is what it’s like

and just for you, another picture…..at a slightly different angle.

Well, until next time…..and here’s a sneak peak at my latest video of the South Bank, the Bubble Blower and the London Eye.  Let’s just say I love London, and I hope you like the pictures, and the video.
