| Saturday 3 May – part two: “look, it’s the Changing of the Guard ceremony!” It was a beautiful day with perhaps some of the best views we’ve ever seen – it certainly seemed to us that you could see further afield than we’d ever experienced before.  Charing Cross railway station with the British Telecom tower behind  The view down the Thames  St. Paul’s Cathedral  Looking towards the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben through the structure of the London Eye  Affectionately called the Gherkin, this building belongs to a Swiss bank  A close-up of the BT tower  ”Look, it’s the Changing of the Guard ceremony”, Mark announced, only to find everyone in the capsule flooding our way as they fought to see it  Close-up of Big Ben  The Houses of Parliament, with Portcullis House to the right (the black building), home to many of our MP’s  Looking up to our neighbouring capsule  The white arch you can see in the distance is the new Wembley Stadium, the national football stadium  What used to be the London Weekend Television tower in the foreground, with St. Paul’s Cathedral behind  Government buildings on the shoreline of the Thames  Looking down on to one of the buildings near the Eye  Waterloo Station  The view across to the east of London and Canary Wharf office block   Capsules with London behind  Buckingham Palace  More Government buildings  Close-up of Big Ben with Westminster Abbey behind  Looking west up the Thames   What used to be County Hall, the former seat of government in London Of course, we had to get some photos of each other while we were up there:       We walked back along the embankment with more photos – not all of them sensible:   Don’t ask.....!  Capturing a silly Mark photo moment     Next: “I want my photo taken with a British policeman”!

| Gherkin wasn't the first thing that went through my mind! (Fabrage Egg is what I first thought) Sulley about fell out when I showed him the picture. ( I didn't ask his first thought!) Great updates! Your photos are amazing! Thanks for sharing! Can't wait to read more!

| Great photos Cheryl! I've only actually made it up in the London Eye once and it was cloudy and rainy so the views were less than impressive. I'll have to try it again some day.
