February 16th was my fiance Ian's birthday, and to celebrate we decided to take a trip to the London Eye. It's something we've wanted to do for ages but always seemed daunted by the massive queues to the ticket booths. But on Saturday morning we woke up lazy and late, spent ages getting ready and opening pressies and drove in to London as if we had all day and then some to spare.
I'm glad we chose to spend the day that way because it was stress-free and the earliest we could get a ticket for the London Eye was for 6.30 in the evening, which gave us loads of time to stroll up and down Southbank past the fairground rides and through the galleries. We got coffee and bought some roasted nuts from one of the stalls and just enjoyed all the people and the twinkly lights down the river.
By the time we had wandered back up it was dark and the london eye looked like this:
And this was the view from the top!! :-)
