And of course, the Eye of London, the giant ferris wheel that sits beside the Thames. Joanna and I were very excited to see the sites and walk London. Here we are, ready to start our first day's trek!

Pretty cool outfit, eh? I'm not entirely sure exactly what he was guarding, but the tassel on the top of his helmet is way cool :) We walked and walked, crossing the Thames several times. You can get a fabulous view of the Eye of London from over the water.
