Yesterday I wandered along Southbank & around Covent Garden, Leiester Square area, rode on the London Eye & went to see the Lion King for the first time. The animals were depicted really well, especially the giraffes, & the cast had lots of energy.
I've decided London is a city is a city. Lots more history maybe, but still just another city. I've enjoyed looking around, if not the weather. (But I don't like ChCh weather either, that's why I live in Brisbane.) London was confusing as travelling underground to specific stations I was not getting a sense of direction or size, somewhat disorienting. So today I went on a ferry ride from O2, the Olympic Stadium, to the London Eye & back which gave a perspective to the city & all the twists & turns of the Thames. I enjoyed just sitting & watching the city pass by. Interestingly from O2 I could look 'cross country' to the London Eye in the distance. Not such a large centre to this city, though the suburbs would be another story obviously.
Tomorrow I pack again & move into a hotel for the night, ready to be picked up on Saturday morning for the start of my European trip. YAY!
