The London Eye

On June 20th, 2009, the Fox's headed down to London to take a ride on the London Eye. The London eye is 443 ft High, making it the tallest ferris wheel in Europe. It was first opened to the public in March of 2000. Over 30 million people have taken a ride on the London eye since it opened making it one of the most popular paid attractions in the UK. One trip around the wheel takes about 30 minutes. The views of London were amazing. We had alot of fun on our trip and we will have to make it back down to London to explore even more very soon!

Here we are inside one of the capsules of the wheel.

Here's Mackenzie with the house of parliament and big ben in the background.

Here you can see the westminster bridge and the lambeth bridge which both cross over the thames river.


Mackenzie really liked the ride and wasn't scarred at all! To the left of her is the ministry of defence and to the right of her is whitehall court.



Here is a view of the golden jubilee bridges and the waterloo bridge.


Another view of the city.

Here are the golden jubilee bridges which head into the charing cross station.

Here is another picture of whitehall court. Don't really know what that means but it was a pretty cool looking building!

House of parliament and big ben.

I'm pretty sure this is part of county hall.

The London Eye!

Here I am in front of the London Eye.
