After the Concorde flight we spent about one day in London, this
was not really enough time to do any real sight-seeing but we did
have enough time to ride on the
The London Eye, the large Ferris wheel erected during the
Millenium celebration.
The capsules are quite spacious and the views from the top of the
wheel are simply breath-taking.
We spent the night in a hotel that was literally half a block
from The New Scotland Yard so we felt very safe. The gargoyles
on the left of the pictures are the entrance to our hotel and
the big glass building in the background is The Yard.
Of course we had to visit Buckingham palace and - along with about
half the population of the planet - watched the fuzzy hats
parade around.
At least half of the participants were pretty tired by the time
we jumped on the tube (motto: Mind The Gap!) to go to the airport
for the next flight.
